    Anyone know if I can stop DBAN. It says I have 97 hours remaining. I took CNET recommendation to run 5220.22-M seems excessive and is taking way to long. I need to get my new drive up and running. Any advice?

    DBAN isn't for new drives.

    To answer your question though, yep, you can. I ran DBAN just long enough to zero out my MBR. Fixed me right up.

    I'm using DBAN on the drive I have to send back. 3 month old machine and HD is on its way out. So they sent me new one and I have to send mine back. So its on pass 2 of 7. Do I just turn the laptop off? Or is there a magic button?
    Thank you.
