I messed up an external drive by running dban in AUTOnuke mode.

I had left the external drive plugged and, seconds after starting the 
scrub, realized what I had done and removed the cables from the external 
drive.

The files were not accessible and I was panic stricken b/c it was all my 
wife's school work.

Attaching the external drive to a Linux PC and running the CLI "testdisk" 
recovered the data.  YMMV

Clonezill or DD shuld have been my first step. I no longer use the 
"AUTONUKE" option in dban.
