I thought that this item that arrived from On Track in my In Box tonight would be interesting.
Apparently On Track was given a Drive from Colombia and they managed to recover 99% of the Data on the drive. No mean feat when you consider just what that drive was exposed to and it had gone through more than what most companies do to protect themselves from Data Theft.

and in a supporting link is the write up of the Experiment that the recovered Data Pertained to.
What made the job easier was the fact that this drive was running DOS so the data wasn’t scattered all over the drive so it was possible to recover from the undamaged part of the platters. Kind of makes one think when we see stories like this doesn’t it?
