Also, is it true that win32api.DeleteFile() can remove the 'special'

Here's the scenario:
You have many hundred gigabytes of data... possible even a terabyte or
two. Within this data, you have private, sensitive information (US
social security numbers) about your company's clients. Your company has
generated its own unique ID numbers to replace the social securi

How easy or difficult would it be for a computer forensics expert to
recover data that is overwritten in this manner? This is a bit off-topic
for comp.lang.python, but I thought some here would have some insight
into this.
