Default How To Read A Smashed Hard Drive

Martin Eastburn fired this volley in
:

So my 'silly example' is factual and you have a short experience
to say such.


What was silly about your example is that the drive had to already have
been formatted properly in order to write to all sectors.

You are aware of what 'formatting' is; yes? (I don't mean in some nebulous
'generic' sense. What does it DO? Do you know?)

What, exactly, does your example of MPs burning/shooting a disk to destroy
it have to do with the _necessity_ of re-writing three times then
formatting in order to erase one?

Now it's a non sequitor example -- and getting sillier by the minute. ?
