    Nope, low level will bury everything.
    I use a minimum or 2 passes and prefer 3.

    Tried installing newest Erasor with no success. couldnt install netframework 3.5. i already had a problem with this version which didnt allow an update then i removed all of them installing only latest no 4. see other thread. microsoft says if program is not working then developper should update to newest netframework.
    here is a forumBAN INCL.
