In this article let’s see what’s the best and simplest way to erase all the programs on the hard drive and clean drive so that it’s available for donation?

Frequently we hear of computers donated by banks, hospitals, or other institutions turning up with all sorts of private information that should have been erased first.

Ways to wipe out data:

Windows has an option to perform “Quick format”.
In reality, a quick format just creates an empty root directory on the hard disk and adds a label to it. The rest of the disk is assumed to be properly formatted already and leaves it untouched. That’s why the name ‘Quick format’.
For this reason it is considered to be insecure. Since the rest of the disk is left untouched, any data that may already have been there will remain as it is. And the data from a quick formatted disk can easily be recovered using a disk recovery tool.
Reformatting the disk
In this process an unconditional format is carried out, where you can change the file system types, allocation sizes and whatever other parameters you have control over. Even after performing these operations, it’s theoretically as well as practically possible to recover data even after a disk has been unconditionally formatted.
Physically destroy the disk
This option can be chosen only when there is no further intension to donate the computer.

So, now the best and also secure way to erase drive is to overwrite the hard drive locations occupied by deleted data with new or junk content.

Remo Data Sanitizer is one such utility that will completely erase the contents of sensitive data from either, physical drive or selected logical drives.

It is equipped with nine sanitization standards for disk wiping. Select any one file sanitization method, based on desired security level. For normal security level, “fast zero overwrite” method would be sufficient, but if you want to thoroughly erase a drive’s contents, with several overwriting methods, you may go for any high security level sanitization standard.

Powerful file recovery tools can sift through any amount of data

Admin — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 22:28:39 +0000

Locating a lost file can be easily compared to the proverbial search for a needle in a haystack. The average hard drive has enough room to hold around one million messages or similar text files. So where can that one file that has suddenly disappeared be? Usually it is right where you left it. What does this mean? When a file is accidentally deleted all that happens is that the space where the file was is marked as empty. The data in that file is still encoded onto the hard disk. But to rescue that data we must use a third party file recovery program that is designed to recognized the file structure of our lost information and retrieve it.

For example supposing we need file recovery of an essay we wrote and saved using Microsoft Word. That file would have used a .doc extension. A quality third party file recovery tool that will recognize the data in the spot marked empty as having been created using Microsoft Word. Once recognized, the extension and file name are restored thus making the dead lost file once again active. So how do we find a needle in a haystack…with a very powerful magnet and in the case of a lost file, with a very powerful file recovery tool.

Simple and complex types of data recovery

Admin — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 21:25:14 +0000

Data recovery can refer to anything from polishing a DVD so as to make it readable to restructuring the logic on a RAID system so that it will auto-replace damaged files. When one attempts to find lost or accidentally deleted files on an MP4 player that is data recovery. This same thought applies to smart cards for digital cameras and USB drives as well. In fact any device that stores digital files can lose them and thus become a prime candidate for data recovery.

Interestingly the process of data recovery is universal for all of this hardware. Third party data recovery software must connect to the failed device and scan its storage for disjointed data. That data must be read and restructured according to most prevalent formats. This will result in MP3s being turned back into songs, NTFS partitions being rebuilt and Canon RAW files being undeleted. All of this is data recovery and there are simple to use DIY tools built just for this purpose.
