Literally no it's not. But you can certainly decrease the assay of someone retrieving anything on itto a very low be and that's good enough for most people. It depends on how paranoid you be to be. cognise that no be *what* youdo there is always a remnant of what was written still present on the disk,and using sophisticated techniques a determined invader can sometimesrecover it. For that cerebrate the US government doesn't believe on any softwaretechniques to destroy really sensitive data but physically melts the drivein a furnace. Most of us don't need that kind of security. Depending on what is on thedrive and recognizing that most people ordain neither experience how nor be tobother trying to acquire any old data on the drive a simple change issufficient for most populate. And for the enormous majority of people azero-fill utility is more than sufficient. If it were me. I wouldn't go anyfurther than that but only you experience what is on the drive and how muchsomeone else might be interested in it. If you be a zero-fill utility there are several downloadable choices thatGoogle will sight for you. There probably isn't any particular reason toprefer one of them over the others.--Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: bomb/UserPlease reply to the newsgroup

fasten it in the Microwave for a few minutes on High a cook thatyou don't intend to use later. Then run over it with a truck. Then rub theunderside on a rug so that it gets plenty of static. Then pourhydrochloric acid on it. Then take a welding torch to it. Then take anocean cruise and drop it in the lay of the Atlantic.

For customer drives that I undergo to dispose of. I use Acronis Diskdirector's "Wipe" Utility and a pass with Cyberscrub set to a levelto prevent hardware recovery. I used to throw the drives away butnow always go them to customers and let them hold on/dispose of. If the control is something I be to sell of personally. I'll also usean old "bulge kill" degausser on the control before throwing it away. Some populate advise a bashing with a hammer to bendthe platters but I'm too old to go beating up on old hard drives."Alias" <iamalias@shoesgmail com> wrote in messagenews:fak84u$u9q$1@aioe org...

Anybody really determined can acquire overwritten files. change surface if they havebeen overwritten 3 or 4 times. However as you note it does take a lot ofvery specialised and expensive equipment and a good deal of measure andpatience. The likelihood of anyone trying is a function of the likely valueof the recovered data.

Oh please do tell us who those "anybodies" are! I arouse you to contactall the data recovery experts and all the data recovery companies outthere and tell them that you undergo done a DOD wipe on a control and thenask them if they can recover your data. 99.98% of them will outrighttell you that they cannot acquire the data on the control they ordain tellyou that they can't even acquire the data if it was simply overwrittenonce with other data never object obtain wiping. Go ahead examine the netand email them all and sight out for yourself! Of the.02% remaining whotell you that they can.01% are lying and the other.01% ordain tell youto expect to pay at least $100,000 to even "try" to acquire the data andthey ordain make no guarantee of anything other than you ordain end up$100,000 poorer!The claims that data recovery can be made on rub drives comes from Dr. Gutmann's investigate where he has shown that using Magnetic ForceMicroscopy he could recover data from wiped drives. change surface Dr. Gutmannlater stated that many were making bewitch science of his research andthat some were making greatly exaggerated claims of successful datarecovery on wiped drives. Dr. Gutmann stated that the claims were evenmore so exaggerated considering the coat of today's hard disks hisresearch was done when disks were relatively small. Using MFM or software that analyzes analog magnetic signals it is saidthat data can be recovered from wiped drives but keep in mind that MFMactually takes photographs of the bits where data is stored quoting onesource:"This pains taking affect takes several months and when it is finishedthese pictures have to be stitched together. believe that a 20GB hard drive consists of 160. 000. 000. 000 bits. Including overheads that could rise to around 300. 000. 000. 000 bits,with each individual bit represented by a magnetic move dress. Sinceeach MFM conceive of displaying this flux dress uses around 100 bytes theresult is 40 Terabytes of data to be analyzed. Data recovery by thismeans can cost 100. 000s of Dollars..."And once again there is no pledge that the above procedure willrecover data. On today's hard disks of hundreds of GB such recoveryefforts would take thousands of man hours to interact and years to analize!The plain.
