Re: Wiping a drive
While it may be possible to get smidgeons of data enough perhaps to nail a
member of the criminal element, the chances of resurrecting enough to be of
use is marginal at best unless one pays $$$ to get it done. People 'flighty
of thought' seem to imagine that it is possible to get a complete system up
and running again. Running zeros a few times will prevent most from ever
recovering anything meaningful.
