you could get a blowtorch and melt the thing.
That's probably what I will use. Thanks!bradybnmci said:Use Derriks Boot and Nuke... DoD acceptable.
Spoken like a true dissenter...lolRicoDirenzo said:Too funny......and, Mr.Boogeyman, law enforcement person, the processes for data retrival are not anymore sophisitcated than what the geeks here already know. WE know that data remains, but as the drive sector become increasingly magnetized with new data, the likelyhood of perserving that data drops off considerably. If a person were to take the time to write to a hard drive 30 or 40 times, lets say, accross all the sectors, the defense department or law enforcement wouldn't find diddly squat. There is no underlying magic here. Data is magnetically stored as a flux transmission. The coating of the drive is magnetically charged and the charged portion of the media is read as a binary encoding. The charged particle = 1 and the absense = 0. If you sufficiently recharge the drive surface you will have nothing to look at. The problem lies in the fact that data is encoded in random access and nonlinear format and so to completely encode the drive the media must be written to many times. Once the entire surface of the drive has been encoded, only God then will know what was previously there. Estute criminals and terrorists know this and use this knowledge. There are limits to inquiry. Which, believe it or not, (at least for the time being) means there are limits to the invasion of our privacy which is a good thang!!!!
