What is the down command on Mac Snow Leopard? Is it just the down button on keyboard? Anyways, I solved problem by using DBan quick mode so it took only about 4-5 hours to erase my two 500gb hard-drives. I started over, and DBan helped me out! I love that program but wish it was quicker but I guess if you want to nuke the crap out of your harrdrives so nothing is left at all you have no choice. I just don't understand why harddrives are buggy on normal erase and don't fully erase everything so you don't have software/operating problems.
