Researchers who extracted data from a hard drive onboard the ill-fated space shuttle Columbia say the device was so thoroughly damaged in the shuttle's fiery crash that it just looked like a cracked "hunk of metal" when it appeared at their door six months later. Data recovery specialists at Kroll Ontrack Inc. painstakingly retrieved 99% of the information stored on the charred 400MB Seagate hard drive's 2.5-in.    (source: computerworld.com)
