[PLUG] No partition table for file erasure

I'm ready to donate one of my redundant systems (as soon as Rob surfaces
for air), but I wanted to ensure that no data was left on the hard drives.
So I booted with Tom's Root Boot, ran fdisk on both, and deleted all
partitions.
Which makes me wonder: if the data on the drive was originally in ext3
filesystems, and the partition table has been cleared, are data still
recoverable with sophisticated tools and sufficient skill?
Just curious,
Rich
