A few months ago a client asked me to wipe a disk prior to disposing of

worked fine.
Now he wants me to try to recover the data ("No, I don't need a backup,
I've taken off all I want!") So I thought that since the unit isn't
connected to the internet and isn't likely to be any time soon, that I'd
try a live foresnics spin to see if any data is detectable. Does anyone
care to recommend one? Or have an opinion about how better to proceed?

How was DBAN run on this? If you are able to recover any data at all, I
would very much like to know about it. Outside of electron microscopy, it
shouldn't be possible to recover anything if DBAN did it's job.
well, as I recall, pretty much RTFM and so on. Just did what the
instructions said - downloaded, ran dd and rebooted and ran with it.
BIOS subsequently detected it but I couldn't see anything. Mind you I
didn't expect to either so I didn't look very hard.
