You can bring data back even after you reformat the drive?

Sorry to take this back off-topic, but I was just going to say: when you format a drive, the data is still there, it just takes the entries for the files or whatever so that you can not read it. then it just get over-written with new data. the data recovery software is still able to go in a find the data, becuase it is technically still there...

So even if it was reformated 5 to 7 times it might still be able to recover some files?

hmm, lol, that many times, you might have problems, I think that if you are trying to secure erase, you should do it at least 5 times, but if you just re-format it once to reinstall, you will still be able to get to it.

Oh, I also just added 6 computers to my account, those same little athlons hehe. I'll see what they can do for me.

I wanted to get my original boinc folder back (the crunch3r one). I guess i'll try and see what happens.
Thanks

And another wacky race has come to the end, with vaughan and Big Whiskey crossing the finishing line in 1st place of their respective leagues. Congrats to both of you! :D

With the push we gave on this project we are now fairly safe from threats, and at the same time we crossed the 500,000 credits milestone. Go Team!

In less than 48 hours from now, the last race of this championship will take place. After having tried projects from USA, UK, Netherlands, etc, we will finish the championship in the beautiful and exotic country of Japan, on the Tanpaku International race track. :P

Hope to see you all there for... The Final Showdown! :twisted:

I could've probably kept 1st place, if it wasn't for those medling kids... I mean HDD corruption. :twisted:

Ready for TANPAKU. Now for the 1st place goal. Hehehe. I have to juggle between play games for Whatpulse or leave my computer idle for TANPAKU.
And whose idea was it to make the deadline 24 hours!?
