Depends on who's trying to RECOVER the data (or who you've angered). If it's someone like your government (or a similar group that has appropriate resources with respect to data recovery) then 7 passes may not be sufficient. To learn more, read the paper by Peter Gutmann entitled "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory" ( here's a link: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html )
