If you do a full format files are not recoverable. I tested it personally. With quick format however, it just goes through and replaces the first character of each filename with #A5 (I think its A5) and the computer just thinks its deleted. Ive dont quick format and recovered all files as a test on a partition. Just replaced the first filename character with anything but #A5. Full format didnt work that way. |
You are wrong, there is a LOT of software that can still recover files from a formatted harddisk.

Heh, I thought it physically nullifies all files. Oh well, back on topic.

well even though that generally would work, there's still some software that can get what's beneath, the best found method so far is to put random 0's and 1's on top.

Spybot S&D has a Shredder function in it  But I doubt I'll use it, only if I trow this PC away.
