Are you sure that hard drive is clean?

Two related stories relate to data being recovered from hard drives.

This WSJ blog post relates the story of data being recovered from an improperly erased hard drive, and suggests that criminal charges relating to theft of the data will be dismissed, since the subject didn't improperly acquire the data.

The second story concerns the recovery of data from the damaged hard drive of the Columbia space shuttle.
