Would it be possible to get anything back from this? Or is there no point trying?

Run it under cold water until redness reduces
Jayden Ward
It’s beyond repair. Properly fucked that is
Justin Clark
Depends if the magnetic feild was broken or not. If not perhaps you could but it will cost you alot.
Unless the data are worth money then it's not worth paying the money.
Jordan Fisher
put it in the oven to demag then have a strong magnet under a bucket of water and take it out and drop it in that then smash it with a hammer, in that state its probably possible to recover data
Julian Davis
>, in that state its probably possible to recover data
The fuck are you talking about? You can get a catastrophic head crash from scratches that are microscopic just by not opening it up in a clean room, there's no way anybody on earth would get anything back from this.
Tyler Thomas
LEA can.
Jaxson Reyes
ud be suprised
Ryan Nelson
Unless you know someone from the NSA or CIA, you're fucked.
Ryan Smith
no fucking way
Juan Thompson
As long as the disk is not melted down it's theoretically possible. The only question is how hard it is. It's way beyond regular individuals as it is, but not beyond, say, companies that specialize in that sort of thing (they'd charge a lot for that disk though) or the police/security agencies.
Hudson Rogers
The data is still there in its alternate quantum state. Easy enough to retrieve it but why bother when it's just kiddy porn and DICKPICS?
Camden Bennett
serious question, do you think its possible for someone to recover info of that ? like the police or do you think its fucked
Austin Martinez
Take it to one of those gook shops, they can fix anythiNg
Joseph Carter
Yes. It can be done. I work in a related field for a government. (Not the United Cucks of Murica) The ONLY way to ensure that data could not be retrieved it to COMPLETELY destroy the magnetic face. You either need to shred it to the point where it's a dust or melt it down.
BUT
It's certain that you would not get complete data. You might get some or nearly all of the sectors depending on how damaged it is. If you get enough, you *can* rebuild the data by using predictions and trial and error. (you can see how this would become exponentially more difficult depending how much data was missing).
So what it comes down to is a time/benefit analysis. Is it worth spending the hundreds of hours under an electron microscope manually/semi-manually reading the data or is it just not worth the time - especially when results are not guaranteed.
Ryan Foster
Sidenote, magnetic wiping is NOT effective. All it does it "scramble" the bits and even then it does a pretty shit job. The reason it's effective is due to software. It mangles just enough to stop a normal computer reading the data.
Andrew Lewis
just throw it in some random trash, no one will give a fuck.
Evan Foster
don't listen to this guy hes a moron. scrambled bits are erased bits. Information is lost in the process
Wyatt Long
MFW everyone thinks they're worthy of spying on
Leo Brooks
you are worthy spying on, fellow citizen. so we can plan the future, we must know what you do today and next week and next month. easy to comprehend, isnt it?
Jason Evans
Do some reading. en.wikipedia.org
Also you can't "erase" data from a harddrive with a magnet short of smashing it into the platter. Waving a magnet will cause a bit to change, not erase.
Two papers supporting this:
digitalcommons.www.na-businesspress.com
commons.erau.edu
Also, unless you have an actual magnetic eraser I'm not prepared to listen to your bullshit.
Parker Howard
What's so important you need it destroyed? Are you Wikileaks?
William Hall
>a bit to change, not erase
you really know nothing about computers, do you?
Joshua Rodriguez
lel
also dubs bitch
Chase Peterson
I don't want it destroyed, I found it, I wanted to see what was on it
Gavin Flores
Good work posting nothing of value mate. Tell you what, if you think waving a magnet over a drive is going to prevent your data being read then you go right ahead and keep doing it. Don't come crying to Sup Forums when you're spending 50 years getting ass raped in an american prison.
Not gonna happen unless you either have money to burn or an electron microscope in your backyard (you don't).
