<span style="color: #000000">Some organizations base their erasure processes upon booting WinPE. Additionally, certain devices (such as some running Intel Atom processors) fail to boot Blancco Drive Eraser. In both of these situations, you have the option of using Blancco LUN Eraser to securely erase the drive on the logical layer. This is accomplished by downloading a special Windows PE image which has been preconfigured to contain Blancco LUN Eraser inside of it.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">In case you wish to configure and build your own personalized WinPE ISO image, see the detailed instructions in the following Quick Start Guide. </span>**<span style="color: #000000">Note:</span>**<span style="color: #000000"> You will require an integration package from Blancco, (Please raise a ticket using these instructions - </span>[<span style="color: #000000">I have a technical issue, how do I contact the Technical Support?</span>](https://go.docs.blancco.com/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/11633342)<span style="color: #000000">) to be able to embed Blancco LUN</span><span style="color: #000000"> Eraser</span><span style="color: #000000"> within the ISO:</span>

<span style="color: #000000">The ISO can be burned onto a CD or used on a bootable USB stick.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">When you boot a device from it, you will briefly see the Windows logo, followed by a blue background with a standard Command Prompt ready for use. Blancco LUN Eraser doesn't have a GUI and is fully controllable through the Windows command prompt and erasure can be started directly from the command line.</span>
