Beware that if your pc doesn't power off automatically in few
second, the wiping may be incomplete due to non compatible hardware.

Attenzione, se vostro pc non si spegnera' automaticamente in pochi
secondi la cancellazione della memoria putrebbe essere incompleta a
causa di un hardware non compatibile.
