@theraven, pradeep: Just a quick question? I remember full formatting my computer and yet I've seen PCIFR show data that I know for sure was on the hard disk "before" formatting and not after it. I didn't try recovering the data because I was trying to wipe it clean. But if I wanted to, can I recover the data, if the integrity is maintained? So, if I were to use a full version data recovery software like Stellar, is there a chance that the data can be recovered if I don't wipe it. I've started wiping data securely after that, but still wondering about it, though.
