This effect might be observed with some manufacturers, when the firmware of a graphic card is not universally compatible with the latest Linux kernel builds used in BCWipe Total WipeOut.
In case of USB flash drive
For Legacy boot mode:
- Open the bootable flash drive created in the Wizard and find the 'syslinux.cfg' file;
- Edit it with Notepad: add 'BC_DISABLE=video' to the end of the string started with 'APPEND...'. Syslinux.cfg example:
APPEND root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init consoleblank=0 loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video - Save the file, safely eject the flash drive. Boot the target device with this flash drive.
For EFI boot mode:
- Open the bootable flash drive created in the Wizard and find the 'boot/grub/grub.cfg' file;
- Edit it with Notepad: add 'BC_DISABLE=video' to the end of the string started with 'linux /vmlinuz.x86_64...'. Grub.cfg example:
linux /vmlinuz.x86_64 root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init video=efifb loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video
- Save the file, safely eject the flash drive. Boot the target device with this flash drive.
In case of ISO image
For Legacy boot mode:
- Open the C:\Program Files (x86)\Jetico\BCWipe Total WipeOut\iso\isolinux.cfg file with Notepad.
- Add 'BC_DISABLE=video' to the end of the string started with 'APPEND...', save changes (admin rights required). Isolinux.cfg example:
APPEND root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init consoleblank=0 loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video - Create a new ISO in the Wizard and use it when booting.
For EFI boot mode:
- Open the C:\Program Files (x86)\Jetico\BCWipe Total WipeOut\common\boot\grub\grub.cfg file with Notepad.
- Add 'BC_DISABLE=video' to the end of the string started with 'linux /vmlinuz.x86_64...', save changes (admin rights required). Grub.cfg example:
linux /vmlinuz.x86_64 root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init video=efifb loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video - Create a new ISO with the Wizard and use it when booting.
In case of EXE
(Only EFI boot mode is supported)
Method 1 (before creating win_wiper.exe with the Wizard)
- Open the C:\Program Files (x86)\Jetico\BCWipe Total WipeOut\common\boot\grub\grub.cfg file with Notepad.
- Add 'BC_DISABLE=video' to the end of the string started with 'linux /vmlinuz.x86_64...', save changes (admin rights required). Grub.cfg example:
linux /vmlinuz.x86_64 root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init video=efifb loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video - Create EXE with the Wizard
Method 2 (after successful running win_wiper.exe on the target machine and before reboot)
- Open 'Disk Management' and find the BCWipe TWO partition created by win_wiper program. Assign a drive letter to the partition.
- Open Windows Explorer and the partition with the assigned drive letter and find the file 'boot/grub/grub.cfg'
- Add 'BC_DISABLE=video' to the end of the string started with 'linux /vmlinuz.x86_64...', save changes.
Grub.cfg example:
linux /vmlinuz.x86_64 root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init video=efifb loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video
linux /vmlinuz.x86_64 root=/dev/ram0 rw init=/init video=efifb loglevel=3 BC_DISABLE=video
- Reboot
