"!=" represents "not equal to" in programming btw. I apparently failed to educate my friends that the act of formatting a drive does not destroy data previously stored on it. I've conducted a personal experiment where I formatted my own desktop and reinstalled the OS on it. I discovered that files previously stored on the drive could still be recovered using file recovery tools.
What's the proper procedure you ask? You can opt for Dban to wipe your drive before installing your OS. Alternatively... you can format and install your OS then use Eraser to securely wipe all unused space.
