OR OR OR OR OR OR. rip the top of an old CD-ROM, and use that friendly peice of cultlery, and make the CD spin up. and by my claculations, it should work like an old record player, but instead of it playing music, it should project the data in a holographic format. or if that doesnt work. just snap it. your safer just phycially destroying the disk. |

| 272166 | 2004-09-14 03:17:00 | Well thats not true either. You can erase whatever you want from CDR's (ie - if you delete a 10mb file off a CDR), u wont get that 10mb back. If the CD hasn't been finalised. And then continue copy files to that CD, if there's still space on it. BUT with CDRW what u delete u can replace. And format. I just cut them up / destroy them with scissors, that'll screw it completely lol. You can even snap them in half with your hands. |

| 272167 | 2004-09-14 03:19:00 | the microwave method is very good and fast. I have often use the microwave to dispose of data before chucking the CDs out. about 5 seconds on high, best to do one disk at a time. just wait for the flash and you know all the data is gone. |

Sure you wont get the space back but the data is still and thus not erased. There are programs out there that can get the data back even if you can't see it from windows. Therefore as they all said you can't erase the data unless you physically destroy the disk. |

| 272171 | 2004-09-14 05:42:00 | yea, i was thinking perhaps of a program that could just set ur burner to max speed and put laser on high constantly, then move from start to finish . it should then create a groove all the way around and then the Data should be destroyed . though DSE's CD shredder is probbly easier |

| 272172 | 2004-09-14 05:58:00 | I find myself speculating as to the nature of the data that has got our man so paranoid. Something which could get him into trouble? Hey Bruce my curser is doing that thing again!!!!! Rob |
