We are a shop front, and have technical guys.
We have had technical guys format systems, totaly kill customers hardware
etc. They always seem to be part timers who do is..
Ive been in this company almost 2 years, and have never really had a need to
format a customers HDD, unless it was totaly wasted, and I had no choice!
And the customer knows what will happen etc. I always do a backup anyways,
copy all the working files to another HDD and then format. I will then put
the data back in a temp folder for the customer, So they can get back
pictrues, data etc that they require. This seems to please most customers.
Regards, Alan Lee
