Not off hand no. At least not typical end-user stuff.

From what I know, CIH overwrites the first 1 or 2 megs of the drive, leaving the rest of the data intact, but the directory structure and allocation tables destroyed. It would be interesting to see if it works.

So far, we've just been replacing some M/B's. Haven't touched the hard-drives....yet. Sorry.
