live forensics spin? advice?

[Dave Stevens]

A few months ago a client asked me to wipe a disk prior to disposing  
of an unused windows box. I used DBAN and as far as I could see the  
erasure worked fine.

Now he wants me to try to recover the data ("No, I don't need a  
backup, I've taken off all I want!") So I thought that since the unit  
isn't connected to the internet and isn't likely to be any time soon,  
that I'd try a live foresnics spin to see if any data is detectable.  
Does anyone care to recommend one? Or have an opinion about how better  
to proceed?
