When you do a factory reset recovery which reinstall windows 7, does it destroy all data on it ?
I'm going to be traveling to vietnam soon and from what i heard the government officials at the aiport there love to do a scan of contents on the hard drive, mainly to ban protestors from entering the country. I have nothing illegal on my hard drive and it's just pictures of my family but i don't like people going into my business so I'm thinking of doing a factory reset recovery which basically reformats the windows partition of your hard drive and reinstall windows 7. My friend who is a computer geek says that pretty much makes all existing data on it unretrievable because all data on it is being rewritten over existing data. Is that true ???

If I told you how easy it is to get a job in this recession, you wouldn't believe me. But the truth is more employers are going online to find people just like you and me who are ready to work at a good job (one that pays good!). The only thing that makes sense is to stop wasting time driving around all day filling out a dozen applications and going from one boring low paying job to another. I found this site that pretty much matches you up with your dream job that is available in your city right now. I have found it very helpful. Go to FindMeJobNow.com
