Would putting a six inch nail or two right through it help maybe?
wow what exactly is on your hard disk :O
there must be some seriously incriminating stuff on it, formatting the thing would have done!
Hi folks,
The data on this drive is still fully recoverable.
If you had asked I could have advised you on how to obliterate the data securely while it was still mechanically functional.
As you have most likely damaged the data and electrical connectors, the only way to removte the data is by degaussing the drive. See these guys for the necessary neo. mags, but be careful, they pinch and crush fingers. www.kjmagnetics.com
Alternatively, drill 15 holes radially, more if you have the patience.
I was advised to ... smash it with a mallet or hatchet.
I retired yesterday, and took my hard drive with me. I was advised to drill holes in it, or smash it with a mallet or hatchet. I demolished a laptop hard drive a couple of months ago, but it seems to be much harder work dealing with the drive from a desk top. I'm enjoying it though!
