Hey Group,
    I have the same question. How? I know there are companies that do this
for a price. What I
would like to know is that if we are giving the computer to a friend,
church, etc. Do you really
think that someone is going to go to the enormous expense to find out what
you have in the
bank? As a builder I wish there was a simple way to recover someones files
from a crashed hard
drive. I think the worse fear that my customers have is losing all their
work or photos, things that cannot be replaced when their hard drive crashs.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Wiping hard drive clean


> There's a lot of dialog out there about wiping your hard drive clean
before giving/selling the computer to someone else. Many responses say,
"running FDISK and simply reformatting will NOT erase the data, and it can
still be recovered."  Okay, how?
