I'm just a little ray of sunshine bringing hours of time-wasting fun to
the world. At the moment I have the Ting Tings, Chris Isaak, and TATU
competing in my head; but can you guess the songs? :-P

...and I just received this in an email:
http://www.native-instruments.de/index.php?id=vinceclarke&L=1&ftu=478893cd98b030d
Were it not for the above readings, I would have *no idea* who this guy
is...

I concur. A while back I was looking up info about wiping drives and
found something freely available that purported to pull data from wiped
drives. Alas, it was not my goal to recover anything so I didn't keep
the link.

Are you maybe thinking of Spinrite? I'd used that in the past (and had
since forgotten about it). If I hadn't cooked the electronics on the USB
interface for the drive I have that just croaked, I might be inclined to
give that a try...
But apparently the USB interface is toast as well. <sigh>
I do recall using Spinrite in the past and it actually was able to
recover things that I thought were unrecoverable. I wonder what it would
do with a zeroed drive.

I had understood spinrite was for recovering/fixing/testing drives that
had failures on them, like lost formatting or flakey electronics. I
wouldn't think if the drive was working then you could get much out of
it other than what you last wrote (without opening it up). I mean,
pretty much, isn't that how a drive is *supposed* to work? Give you back
reliably what you most recently wrote to a sector?

Check your feather pillows for holes
before putting them in the washing machine.

I don't know - I've not looked at it in 10 years. Version 6 has been out
for a while, but I haven't looked at it in depth.
Zeroing a drive could conceivably be seen as just not completely erasing
the magnetic fields, though, so in that specific case, even the older
version might find something.
