These operations, however, only change the file allocation of the data; they do not delete the data itself. In other words, the data retrieval processing is disabled under an operating system such as Windows. The data is still there, even though it seems to be lost. Thus, it is sometimes possible to read the data by use of special software for data recovery. There is a risk that people of bad faith might read and misuse the critical data on hard disk drives or solid state drives for unexpected purposes. To prevent leakage of data, it becomes very important that you take responsibility for deleting all the data from the hard disk drive or solid state drive when you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically by smashing the hard disk drive or solid state drive with a hammer, or magnetically by means of strong magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But we recommend that you make use of the software (payware) or service (pay service) specifically developed for the purpose. For disposing of data on the hard disk drive or solid state drive, Lenovo provides the Secure Data Disposal tool. To download the application, go to: http://www.lenovo.com/support Nota: Running either application will take a couple of hours.
