Since 6.1.2, Blancco Drive Eraser has improved its support for newer Apple machines. Nevertheless, some models require the software to be booted with special booting parameters 1,2:

  • As a general recommendation, use preferably the booting option “FLR during startup”. If you use another booting option, make sure that the “splash” parameter is removed (if present).
    • Models successfully tested with this configuration: MacBookAir7,1 , MacBookAir7,2 , MacBookPro11,1 , MacBookPro11,4 , MacBookPro11,3
  • On some models, you need to add the "nomodeset" parameter (if missing).
    • Models successfully tested with this configuration: MacBookPro13,3
  • On some models, you need to add the "noapic" parameter.
    • Models successfully tested with this configuration: MacBook8,1 , iMac17,1 , MacPro6,1 , MacBookPro1,2
  • On some models, if you have troubles with the keyboard, touchpad or TouchBar, try adding the "intremap=nosid" parameter.
    • Models successfully tested with this configuration: MacBookPro13,3 , MacBook9,1
  • Keep in mind that some models need a combination of parameters.
    • As an example the iMac17,1 needs adding “noapic” and removing both “splash” and “nomodeset” (if present).
