[QUOTE="codswollip, post: 785757, member: 58988"] Maybe. Some software has "fast encryption"... meaning it encrypts new stuff on the fly, but otherwise does not wipe the disk beforehand. Unless you fill the disk with new encrypted material the unencrypted data may possibly be recovered. Consider Diskpart command "clean all". Simple to use. Following that, you must create a partition for the disk to be usable. [/QUOTE]
