Thanks for all your help guys. This is a really interesting topic...one which i myself am interested in, and there is a good scope for interviews with employees on thier policy, linking it to business - whilst also stressing the importance of this for a home user. The stats would be could, and i'm sure would bring up some interesting results.

I will look into other tools, (I know some people who work in law enforcement and are invloved that way, so maybe I can use that angle. Maybe i can use a copy of Encase from one of them...who knows.

I could also show techniques for secure deletion of data, and actually demeonstrate how it works. The only other thing I was considering was the use of how hard drives can be encrypted, how would this effect getting information off the drive (obviously it needs to be unencrypted) but I hear that there are some encryption that is impossible to break. Does anyone have any info on encryption of hard drives, the best programs to use, and how someone would go about decrypting it?

A really good idea, I have a lot to discuss with my tutor!
