Cannot lock volume - access is denied

[SoraKenji]

More than an issue, this is a question. While using the software on a Windows Surface Pro 3 we got the message:

Cannot lock volume '': Access id denied. (0x5)

We got this error using:
dskwipe.exe -s 0 -e 2048 -y -x reboot -f -g \Device\Harddisk0\Partition0
and also the same using the following:
dskwipe.exe -s 0 -e 2048 -y -x reboot -f -g \\.\PhysicalDrive0

The command dskwipe.exe -l shows the following:

Device Name                         Size Type      Partition Type
------------------------------ --------- --------- --------------------
\\.\PhysicalDrive0                256 GB Fixed
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition0      256 GB Fixed

Are you sure you are administrator and are not trying to wipe the disk windows is installed on?

Hey Rasa! Thank you for replying!

Yeah, I am the administrator, but I'm trying to wipe the disk Windows is installed on... We have being doing that in other devices as a way to "eliminate" the disk if someone stole them and it did work in those devices, but not in this kind of device (Surface Pro 3) for some reason D: but maybe I'm doing something wrong haha.

Edit: Sorry I'm on my phone and touched "close issue" by mistake! I re-opened tho haha.

I doubt Windows would let you wipe the boot disk, unless you booted into a PE environment first, or wrote some kind of special kernel driver that allowed you to write to the primary disk's boot sectors, sorry.
