8. Reformat does not do what you think it does
you need to use the Gutmann method to erase a hard drive it will erase 1, 3 or 7 times. It writes over the drive and makes it very very costly for anyone to try and recover the data. And yes they can always recover the data off your hard drive. Unless you are suspected by the government of having top secret data from black ops missions on your drive you have nothing to fear by using the Eraser Nuke Floppy.
