Steve-
For the truly paranoid, I read somewhere that one can determine the last four
or five "bit settings" on a hard drive. This is (if I remember correctly) used
by IRS and FBI types to reconstruct illegal data that has been
erased/wiped/written over from a hard disk.
The Norton Utilities Wipedisk for the IBM world will fill a file with
alternating passes of 1's then 0's based on a command line option (up to X
times). too?
Just a thought to help us paranoids to sleep better…
