Technical Support Use Parted Magic to secure erase the drive, then install windows.

Make sure you are running the latest firmware on the drive.
Any body know how i am supposed to ry this when i run windows 7 64 bit and the suggested fix is Linux ? i guess this is how Corsair handles their warranty issues.

Parted Magic is a bootable distro. Download it, burn the image to a CD, and then boot the CD. I use this all the time when I have to secure erase an SSD.

Or did I miss something in the question?

We also have a HOW TO guide posted in our HOW TO section. Also, this is not how we handle warranty issues, it's how we handle tech support issues. If you need a replacement drive we have no problem replacing it for you. But, if you can benefit from a secure erase instead of removing your drive, shipping it out, waiting on the replacement, restoring your OS, etc etc then it only makes sense to secure erase the drive.
