Short answer for your question is... No. It's not true.
...
suppose you have deleted file. This operation only
removes entry in you directory table, but not the file itself. Or you
did format you hard drive. That will rebuild only file structure on
you
hard drive. Normally that means that you overwrite about 5% of you
drive. All other data is intact. Just read it.
I think you just contradicted yourself.
...If you do `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdd then there is no
chances you'll get you data. Why? Because all byte and bits on your
hard
drive became 0.
This is not what normally (or at least, _always_) happens when you
format a hard-drive.
Stroller.
