Your reply makes no sense. Ontrack uses windows to recover files, so if you did a single wipe, then it's GONE. Ontrack won't get it back. I imagine what you saw were a few temp files, swap-files, or the like... nothing real. Did you check to see what files were found, and if they were relevant? Also, did you test the drive right after a wipe?

My point is, your test is useless and irrelevant to the topic here. REAL data recovery (such as what is described) requires microscopes and such, not a few-hundred-dollar windows program.
