There are programs out there that can still read the data. Your directories will most likely be a bit fucked up, but individual files have a good chance of recovery.
There are also labs you can send it to also that charge about $1000 and up to recover data.

I'm about to sell my current PC because Im about to upgrade to something much better. Will running a program like Evidence Eliminator prevent people from being able to recover files from my hard drive ? I'm very paranoid about this because I would hate someone to get my CC info or any of my passwords or usernames I user for my buisness
Btw this thread has been GREAT !!! Its been a fantastic resource
