I need to leave out throwaway sentences. All I meant
was currently you
have to pay sums of $800 or $1000 to recover data
from a crashed
system.. A Linux based system might offer the
service cheaper. But it
would not work if the Disk is actually physically
damaged , I don't
think.

I have recovered many documents, word files,
spreadsheets, etc., for some colleagues at school.
The harddrive on the host machines was going bad
giving thunking sounds. I used Slax and recovered
many files for them and passed them on to a USB drive
and they gave me a hero's welcome. They were very
happy to get their data back and praising me very
much.
But if the disk is physically damaged, I concur with
you Aaron, but some say that the FBI can do, it.
I do not know to what extent, but many people say that
they can get anything that was on your computer no
matter how many times you have reformatted your hard
drive.
This is a page that shows up using google that says a
bit as to what happens
http://www.fbi.gov/hq/lab/fsc/backissu/oct2000/computer.htm
As to combat that, I do not know, some say use a
Magnet and put it next to the hard drive that you want
to be erased for good. By doing that according to
some there is no way in the world that the FBI can get
your data. I do not know how true the above statement
is, but many people that know about computers have
suggested this.
