What does that mean? That the content of every sector in the disk is zeroed, or just that the whole space is seen as "unallocated"? By the way, do you know which file system was used?
yes all the sectors in the disk are zeroed, they have no data, none of the tools i know are able to find anything on the drive
Well, if the device is actually wiped I don't think there is much to do. However it seems quite strange that no data at all is present. Have you tried TestDisk to try to recover any previous partition? Just to try, but odds aren't high if data has been that magically overwritten. Sorry.
