I'm looking for software apps that are able to permanently wipe hard drives, making data retrieval next to impossible for security purposes.

I also need a software app that is able to retrieve data in the event of the hard drive going kablooey. I found one that fixes bad sectors that works pretty damn well called "HD Regenerator". I just need an app that is able to let me boot into the hard disk in some sort of simulated OS environment for file extraction purposes.

-thanks alot
 
There may be some free utilities for these purposes. For commercial software, Norton Gdisk comes with the Ghost package. It can wipe HDDs supposedly "government security" level. For data recovery, Ontrack makes software called EasyRecovery Professional for recovering whole hard drives. It's pricey stuff at $500. A cheaper option is EasyRecovery Lite which runs $90, but is limited to recovering 25 files at a time (just most imporant I guess).
