sure you realize that recovering data from a disk that got only the 10KG hammer
is much easier (and cheaper) than recovering data from one that got only the dd
treatment. As an added bonus, you just marked that disk as interesting by
physically destroying it :-)<br><br>Personally, I think the best solution for
anyone who cannot afford to physically melt the disk platters is to dd the
