While it's gone for most people, data recovery houses usually can get it back if need be.

Hi, got a question. When I boot to the OS X cds to erase my hd I have the following options on the left hand side.
1. 100 gig
2. Macintosh HD
3. 95.0 gb
If I erased number 2 and 3 and reinstall the OS is all my data gone from the drive?
Thanks
