Note: To customize Boot Disk image file you need basic skills in Command Line Scripts writing.
To customize Active@ KillDisk Boot Disk WinPE image, for example to change a default Erase Method and add a Company
Logo:
Create custom KILLDISK.INI file using documented parameters (Application Settings)
Here is an example of an INI file which uses US DoD 5220.22-M (ECE) erase method with 10% verification,
stores logs, reports and certificates to X:\\ location (X: virtual drive is the only known drive with guaranteed
letter when boot disks starts), specifies Company Name and Logo Image file:
Create KillDisk start up script which uses Command Line parameters
Here is an example of an CMD file which enumerates all drive letters, searches KILLDISK.INI file in
User_Files folder, defines Drive Letter where Settings and Logo stored, copies Company Logo image file to known
location and starts KillDisk with custom KILLDISK.INI file:
@ECHO OFF
FOR %%i IN (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) DO (IF EXIST %%i:\user_files\KILLDISK.INI ( SET CDROM=%%i:&& GOTO END ))
:END

KillDisk.exe -ip="%CDROM%\user_files"
