Search to verify wipe operation

Post by hawksleym »

I have a question I hope someone can help with.

I completed a drive wipe operation with other software filling the drive with x00. Now I would like to use HxD to open a disk (the one just wiped) and perform a search to see if there are any locations that do not contain x00. I could do this one of two ways: I can search for NOT x00 - or - I could search for a range of hex values x01 through xFF. (If either is found anywhere on the disk, then the wipe failed.) I'm not sure how to do either one of these searches in HxD.

If anyone has thoughts, I would appreciate your help.
Regards,
Mike

There is no way to do that with HxD currently, I am sorry.
