In this series of computer hard drive data recovery videos,
watch ComputerWeekly.com editor James Garner bathe, burn and break
three desktop computers in an effort to destroy the data stored on
the computers' hard drives.
The videos, which are tongue-in-cheek Charlie Chaplin-style
silent movies, show extreme examples of the most common ways of
losing data. So the first video looks at hard drive data loss by
water; the second uses fire; and the third... well, it involves
some very heavy machinery!
What's the point of all this? Well it's to see how far you can
go before it becomes pointless calling on the services of a data
recovery company.
