Verify-And-WipeDisk.ps1

A PowerShell script for safely and securely verifying and wiping disks on Windows systems. Designed for reusability, safety, and ease of use, this script allows you to:

• View all connected disks and key details
• Interactively select a disk to inspect and optionally wipe
• Clear the partition table (Clear-Disk)
• Overwrite the first 1GB with zeroes (destroys headers like LUKS)
• Perform a post-wipe verification to confirm the disk is clean

---

🛡️ Use Cases

• Preparing encrypted drives (e.g. LUKS on Unraid) for RMA
• Securely wiping disks without full-disk overwriting
• Validating that disks have no partitions, volumes, or data remnants
• Quickly destroying boot sectors, partition tables, and headers

---

🧰 Requirements

• Windows 10/11
• PowerShell (v5+)
• Must run as Administrator

⚠️ Warnings

• This script permanently deletes data. There is no undo.
• Always double-check the disk number before confirming.
• Does not wipe the full drive (only clears partition table + 1GB).

🔒 Security Note

This script is ideal for wiping LUKS-encrypted drives (e.g. from Unraid). Overwriting the LUKS header and partition table renders the data unrecoverable even with advanced tools.
