Most likely it will not. It may fry the electronics but it would barely touch the magnetism on the hard drive platters.
If you are truly looking for a way to totally clean off a hard drive, look into running shred from a Linux live CD. Knoppix is a good choice.
Enjoy!

If you're in the bath with it, it will erase yours as well! Actually, it probably won't. It's likely to damage the external electronics but the HDD is sealed, so a professional recovery specialist could probably read the data back off the platters.

i'm assuming you propose pulling out the flexibility twine on your workstation? Pulling the flexibility on a troublesome force mutually because it is grew to become on could desire to injury a lot of issues. If it is your workstation, no, each thing would be tremendous till the CMOS battery is ineffective on the motherboard at which element, the time on your workstation would be off and could reason some funky problems.

It will definitely destroy the drive...that much is for sure. I would assume the electrical charge running through the water would scramble the magnetic readings....but I am not sure. Doing this will blow a breaker in your fuse box for sure though and I can't really say it is safe.

you mean the data on the drive? no but i bet your hard drive won't work anymore, but it won't technically erase it, be like putting a CDROM in water, it still reads fine, but since the drive is electronic obnviously submerging it in water isn't a good thing

Water and Electricity don't get along, You'll destroy the hard drive and electrocute yourself. You got to be joking !

Probably not, it is very unlikely to cause permanent data damage. You may also electrocute yourself or blow up the machine you are connected to..
