How to Prevent Deletion of Files from External Hard Drive
I have a 2TB external Hard drive, and my buddies are using it to copy files from it. But more often than not, they wind up cutting and pasting the information rather than copying and pasting, and as a result, my files disappear. I want to disable the cut and delete features when my external HDD is linked to anything other than my own device, making it read or write only.

Actually, when you are building a new PC, you don't have to format an old hard drive in advance because when you are installing Windows 10 on a new PC, the system will ask you to format the hard drive. You have tried several times to wipe the old hard drive with Dban, and it cannot boot now. It seems like your hard drive has some issues, and you need to fix these issues to use it.
Checking the system's boot order is the first available option. Restart your computer, then access the BIOS. These keys might be used if you don't know how to access BIOS: Esc, Del, F10, F2, F8, or F12. It either comes on the screen first or does so before the Windows logo. After entering the BIOS, choose the boot tab, modify the options, and set the hard drive to the first position. After saving the settings, restart your computer. Then your computer can boot from your hard drive.
After your hard drive can boot normally, you should use the CHKDSK command to check if your hard drive has any problems. Then you can install the Windows system on your hard drive for your new PC.
