Reformatting your hard disk does not erase the data!

So you thought that re-formatting the hard disk erased all data? Think again!

The fact is that the data does not disappear when the disk is reformatted. It is only the part that helps the operating system to find and organize information that is erased, the rest is still intact.

If you use a disk restore tool which sells for less than $50 (search on disk restore tools and you will find 100s of them) voila - the information is restored. Keeping your information secure even after your PC is sold or exchanged for a new one is another great advantage of data encryption.
