Your guide to retrieving deleted files

**Glaswegian** · 06-19-2007, 12:07 PM

It was 4pm and all that could be heard in the office was the gentle tapping of keys, some mumbled conversations on the phone… and a frantically thrashing hard drive. The hard drive in question was on an employee’s laptop, and it was thrashing because the employee was trying to delete gigabytes of downloaded porn before handing his laptop over to his boss.

Unfortunately for him, his boss was about to hand the laptop over to a team managed by Jarrod Haggerty. Haggerty, who came to the UK in 2004 after working for years as a police officer in Victoria, Australia, is now a director of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Forensic Technology Solutions operation.

Haggerty has made it his business to undelete deleted files, which is precisely what his team did when it got the laptop. There, languishing on the hard drive, was the porn: gone, but not forgotten.
