Question 1

Which of the following does not destroy the data on a hard drive?&#10;A) Disk wiping&#10;B) Data destruction&#10;C) Formatting&#10;D) Degaussing

Accepted Answer

Formatting a hard drive typically does not destroy the data completely. It removes the address tables, making the data invisible to the system, but the data itself remains until it is overwritten. Disk wiping, data destruction, and degaussing are all methods specifically designed to completely erase or destroy data on a hard drive.

Question 2

Which of the following can permanently remove data from a drive?&#10;A) Deleting and formatting&#10;B) Deleting and disk wiping&#10;C) Formatting and degaussing&#10;D) Disk wiping and degaussing

Accepted Answer

Disk wiping and degaussing are methods that can permanently remove data from a drive. Disk wiping involves overwriting the existing data with random data, often multiple times, to prevent data recovery. Degaussing uses a strong magnetic field to disrupt the magnetic domains on the drive, effectively destroying the data.
