In criminal cases I've read of defendants purchasing several commercial data scrubbers and still the cops were able to retrieve everything. I wonder if the products mentioned really work.

Yes and no. It depends on how the program "destroys" the data. Where I work we have to clean certain hard drives so as to prevent Social Security Numbers from being retrieved. Just formating, even 10-20 times does not prevent recovery. We use a program that writes, overwrites, and overwrites again a total of 35 times as well as scrambling the 1's and 0's dozens of times. We run the program twice to be sure the hard drive is clean.

Lately though we've decided it was easier to have the hard drives removed and placed into an industrial shredder and ground into nearly a fine power. A lot quicker and easier.

I have a question. My daughter just wrote a paper last night for a college course. Saved it and got up this morning early to write the summary and the only thing that was saved was the final page that she was on when she saved it.

Anyone know how she can find the rest of the paper? It's on Word
