    Hello Siyamand,

    Unfortunately all tools format in the same way, there isn't anything quicker that I'm aware of.
    If you have the machine encrypted with BitLocker you can decrypt the drive quicker than formatting it though.

    Hey Siyamand,

    I'm not familiar with that particular application, but you can still format the hard drives even with the disks encrypted. It's not the kind of thing we would develop a tool for but it should be quite straight forward to format these machines with a batch script of some kind.
  • The tool is uses for delete/create partition and formatting volumes...
    But qhen i tried to format and delete a sophose encrypted partion when i reboot the laptop sophos safe guard login page popup again ...
    Any ways thanks a lot
