The error should be reported in the log file.
There is a special option "Skip error notification" - if it is checked, the error reports go to the log file and are not displayed on the screen.
If you report us what is written in the logfile, we will suggest a solution.
It is recommended to use BCWipe v4, because some bugs have been fixed  as compared with version 3.

BCWipe Stopping during wipe free space
« Reply #1 on: November 09, 2009, 07:33:56 PM »
Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has every heard of this.   We are running bcwipe on a server to wipe free space.  7 times.  It seems to stop after about 40 minutes with no errors.  i will check the log file again.   Do you know what could be causing this?  Could it possibly stop if someone is accessing this server over the network while the wipe is occurring?

thank you!
Karl
