Re: Program to wipe data from disk free space

Unfortunatly I don't have the funding to set up my own MFM lab so I can't 
confirm the veracity of all of this, however:  i've heard that it has been 
done by those of us with decent budgets (read Law enforcment etc.).  MFM is 
probably not going to yeild anything that could be used in court, as it only 
recovers small fragments (not legal advice :) and is obviously open to 
attacks from any resonably competent defence lawyer.  Also it sounds pretty 
expensive....

Alledgedly the remaining file fragments are the result of wobbly write heads 
not writing over the same physical position of the track each time - so when 
you write over file, your not destroying all the data

Apparently http://www.forensics-intl.com/art15.html goes into this in more 
detail (I haven't had the time to check it yet).

Oh and a big "hi" to those of who haven't turned off our vacation 
notifications or who a mining this website for spam address...
