Here's how
a defense contractor cleaned a tempest system's hard drive of
secret SAR (not confidential) data after each use:
1.) Run Norton WipeDisk pgm writing 1s & 0s three times.
2.) Low level format
3.) WipeDisk three more times.
Trust me, when I was done, there wasn't anything recoverable there.
Wanna bet?
With sufficient (excessive) effort and expense (>G*value of data), some
can still be recovered. The NSA does a lot of that kind of stuff.
