@nikita69, yup but even Zerofill is not the most secured one. Chances are that 99% can be recovered if not physically destroyed. Even demagnetizing doesnt help at all. The 0's and 1's can be realigned.
However the process with Zerofill basically write patterns of all 0's to the harddrive media. It starts by writing on the empty space of the hdd and then over the data . It makes very hard to recover. But I have heard cases where data has been recovered, obviously not by simple means.

How is that possible if the surface has been written and rewritten countless times?!?! A time machine?

I think 5years would be pushing it, though i bet an expert could still recover parts of those files! The only reliable method is a very large hammer! after you remove the discs themselves of course, though i suspect one of those electromagnets they use in scrapyard to lift wrecked cars might also do a pretty effective wipe job, though i doubt it would be reusable
How the hell? How could you pull that off though? And if it's still keeping the information, then doesn't that take up space with like memory and that? And would you be able to like do something so that it like wouldn't be possible to find a file from THAT long ago? Weird as hell.
confused.........

that cleans up any thing you want to get rid of, and it wipes slack space, can't beat it as a secerity tool
