So I used the Undelete program recomended on here and WOW It works. But now
I am wondering, do I want EVERYTHING I deleted available to anyone with that
program? If someone were to find my laptop, and couldnt access the disc
without formatting, they could still go in and retrieve all of my medical,
financial and business files not to mention all of my families personal data
files as well. So, is there a program that will overwrite the deleted parts
of a Hard Disc (or the unused sectors in general) without damaging the
usable data on the disc and make them "Un-undeletable? I know that some
professional undelete programs can go through numerous layers. I want
something that can make multiple layers un-undeletable.
Thanks
