is a dangerously naïve approach. With point-and-click easy to use = freeware tools under windows, I can do almost 100% retrieval of files= after a full reformat, and even after reloading the OS and using it = for a while, the simple point-and-click freeware tools can retieve an= awful lot of stuff. And if I have the skills to use more powerful, = complex tools, I can do even better, without needing a lot of money, = time, or even strong motivation.
That's not after a "reformat"; that's after making a new filesystem on the disk. (In this context, a "full reformat" doubtlessly refers to what is called a "low level format" on systems with DOS heritage where "newfs" is called "format") Casper
