Hi

Under the System Settings part of the XMB on my PS3 when I select Format Hard Drive it gives me the option to ether do a Quick Format or a Full Format. It says when Quick Format is selected that 'specialist equipment' can be used to recover data form the HDD but doesn't say it under Full format. I was just wondering whether when Full Format is selected does it really make the data on my HDD completely gone?
