If you wish to wipe the system drive, you will first create a bootable disk that you can then use to completely erase all drive contents, including the operating system. Refer to Create DriveScrubber boot disk for instructions.
If the drive or device that you want to search is not listed, it may not be properly connected or configured. The drive or device needs to be connected to your PC and configured as a drive in Windows.
Verify that the device is connected to your computer and verify that its power supply is on.
