    Leave the word ‘bad’. Write ‘bitcoins’, and cross it out. Gives a good reason for it to be the trash, and everyone knows someone who thinks they can recover a hard drive.

        Its not “everyone can” not even “everyone knows someone who can” but " everyone knows someone who THINKS they can".

        8% of men think they can 1v1 a gorilla without weapons. Don’t you think enough people think they can recover a drive?

          I stand by it, although you make a valid point. I think way more people (probably men tbh lol) think they can 1v1 a gorilla than think they can recover a hard drive. Most people probably don’t even know what a hard drive is these days.

      Well yeah, who doesn’t know how to recover data… This is a great tool https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhotoRec

      Also just live boot linux and use the strings command and point it at a harddrive and pipe out the string data to a file for name review

      If the drive is toast there are paid services that will disable it and recover data off the drives with higher tech methods.
