I just recently purchased a hard drive off ebay and I have heard about people who don't completely erase their drive. Do you know how to do a quick scan of a hard drive to reveal deleted information that was not written over?
NOTE: When you clear a hard drive the information is not completely erased. To completely erase your hard drive you will need to write over the whole drive with random "ones and zeros". This can be done with many commercial applications.
why do you want to retrieve deleted information.. i mean there seems no point or at least you didnt give us one. *suspicious*
for another, wrong forum. try a hardware type security related forum. must neg you.

er0k, you didn't have to neg him. It was his first post.
There are a few things you are able to do to retrieve deleted information off of a drive. However, here at AO we are not particularly fond of people using knowledge obtained here at AO for harmful or criminal intent.
So I would be happy to assist you in finding your answer. I would just like to know why you would even want to find any deleted information?

i guess curiosity killed the cat, as the saying goes..
Anyhow i'm sure that if you did a quick google search you should be able to find what your looking for.
I saw a few interesting links in the google search i've provided you with. But if you want help trying to recover files that were deleted for a reason, then your own your own with that.
cheers

sorry er0k but you are one flaming piece of ****. i just asked a question.
thanks to all the people who are not as awesome as er0k for the help.
Last month we had a whopper of a lightning storm and wouldnt you know as soon as rebooted the CPU I got the ol' blue screen. When I visited windows explorer, most of my Green Peace and Save the children files had simply dissapearded. I was hopeing there is a way to retrieve this data. For the children.
For your fourth post being the way you are being isn't exactly gonna extract a welcome from anyone. You should drop the attitude.
dissapearded....DISSAPEARED?!?!?Quote:

I'd give up on saving the environment and the kids and find a nice adult literacy group to get involved with.
/me can't help but wonder if a little "engineering" might be going on here....
That was very clever of you allenb1963. You are now as worthless as the spell check function of my computer. Your parents should be proud. And on that note, what the hell is this?

Now if you'll allow me to break down this exquisite, but somewhat unrefined thought. Let's start with the basics. You begin a sentence with a capital, not a "/". You end a sentence with a period. If you have something else to say finish the sentence. If you want to say something more, write another sentence. If that is all you can think of, one period will suffice. You have also chosen the wrong first person pronoun to begin this fragment. This was most likely the result of your bland and unrefined personality attempting to say something funny. I sincerely hope the “1963” in you uncreative handle does not mean you are 41 years old. You are an enormous waste of life and I hope you don’t take your life, you worthless bitch ass mother****er, or no one will be able to feed your cat or run the network at the local library. I up those night classes at the community college are going well so you can finally be accepted into the elite community at Kinko’s. Godspeed, bitch.
Allow me to correct my self,

Thats right, Kinko's.
Heh. Wow your dumb.
Sweet, fagget.
Sweet, faggot.
