Problem
On Windows, I frequently use Eraser, to delete securely the files I remove. I've been looking at TrueCrypt recently, and its whole disk encryption. If I encrypt the whole disk, does that make using secure deletion tools moot? I mean, could someone still find what was deleted?

Low Risk
The only way to completely protect data is to destroy all copies of it beyond possibility of recovery. So yes...shred your disks. And if you've memorized any of the data, shred your brain too. http://xkcd.com/538/
