    Is there any way whatsoever to do this? And if not by yourself, any professional companies that can do this for you? If yes, how much would they charge? Any ideas?

    Use TestDisk.

    Depends. There is no evidence that anyone can recover data that has been overwritten. B-bbbut even if the disk is fubar pieces could still be recovered.

    TestDisk can recover entire deleted files even if the disk has been repartitioned or reformatted.

    Ahh, but you see. Who's to say that file A will be overwritten by file B once file A is deleted. Deleting doesn't do much to the actual data it just makes it so that it CAN be overwritten. Therefore, you shred sensitive data. And NO SpectraL you don't know how shredding works, ain't nobody gonna' retrieve properly shredded data.

    TestDisk has the ability to undelete complete files no matter how many times the sectors have been overwritten and no matter how many times it's been formatted. I've already tested it on several devices. You can go back as far as the very first data which was on the drive.

    I was talking about shredding, but you've seemed to have missed that.

    In my day, "shredding" was when you overwrote the data you wanted to get rid of so many times that the data became "shredded". I suppose you are referring to an actual shredding of the physical harddrive itself?

    Be that as it may back in the day, i'm glad you asked. Shredding as referred to these days is when you do actually overwrite data, but by means of a certain algorithm that either overwrites the data with all 1's, 0's or random data times a number of passes.

    It's pretty secure and even TestDisk won't be able to recover it, however for absolute safety physical destruction of your drives would be best of course.


    While we're on the subject of data security, i read on twitter the other day about a chip for your motherboard or something that self-destructs when you tamper with it or give the command for it to do so. If this could be employed with hard drives that would be pretty sweet.

    That's the Xerox Parc Chip. Turns into Si and SiO2 powder on a self-destruct command.
