Step 1. Click "Tools" menu and select "Erase Sectors" option as follows, and the Erase Sector window shows up.

Step 2. In the Erase Sectors window you need to set following options:

1. Select disk or partition you want to erase data.
2. Set sector range to be wiped. If you want to wipe a partition, sectors here mean the partition range.
3. Choose characters to fill sectors.

Step 3. Click Erase button on Erase Sector window and DiskGenius pops up a message box:

Click Erase and OK button to confirm operations to be done and DiskGenius starts to erase data on selected disk space.
