Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} Recovering data from a formatted hard disk
Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 07:32:19 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43DF8303.8090105@telus.net> (raw)

In Canada, all government surplus computers have all the HD's removed
and are sent out to be destroyed. I believe the HD's are melted down. 
The odd time they miss an HD and the news media have a field day with
it. I have seen several demos where data on an HD that was formatted,
repartitioned and formatted several times have the data recovered in an
amazingly short time.
