Domestically, maybe. Government agencies (police, etc.) will have
superior hardware capable of such d
Most software recovery will have problems recovering data after doing a simple
zeroing of a drive. Truecrypt does this prior to filling with random data and
further xeroing after would give most hardware recoveries problems.

Interestingly this came up in the last Dorset LUG meet on Tuesday,
where it was said that the argument that data can still be retrieved
even after it has been overwritten may have been valid at one time

I'm not at expert on the subject but as I understand it data can be
recovered even if it has been overwritten several times, whether anybody
will be willing to go to the trouble or not is

Hi all
Yes this old chestnut again. Like most of us I guess, I have quite a few
old hdds and we're now in chuck away mood. Physically I'll be disposing of
these in as environmentally friendly a way as I can but destroying data is,
as I remember, a bit tricky. I know data can be recovered
