(sorry for my bad english)
I've tried this test:

i used "disk redactor" ( http://www.cezeo.com.../disk-redactor/ ) for wiping my system hard disk (selecting "no last 16K wipe") ... this tool simply writes a big file as huge as the free space at the moment is.

Then i used recuva that listed a lot of files that can be recovered at "excellent" state... obviously that's not true: the whole of the space was overwritten.

That tool is only one of many of these available in the net (freely).

Bye! :)

Try recovering some of those files to be sure, else that other program dosn't work very well.
