I have some CD's of stuff I no longer need. I don't want to just throw
it away and bending one until it breaks is a stupid move I have no
intention of repeating!

What's the best way to destroy them?

Thanks,
Mark

putting a few scratches into the top surface will usually suffice unless the
data on the CD is worth spending big bucks to recover.
or-
put the disc along with your cat into the microwave. Zap on high for a few
seconds - longer if you have a big cat.

I have the same question. Couldn't we just write the whole CD w/ 0's or 1's
to erase it the same way they do w/ erasing HD?

Or perhaps the subsequence writes not cover up the previous data properly?

Thx, Mike

because you can't overwrite a CDR

MICROWAVE!

What I meant is to write all 1's to disk regardless of what the original
data was. Thus making the disk "blank".

What part of *can't over write a CDR* don't you understand???
If it had data written on it you CAN'T overwrite that data with anything.
Write this 100 times or until you understand it

I understand what he is saying. You burn a disc and certain parts are
turned into a one rather than a zero by the laser. What he is suggesting
is going back over those areas where data was burned and making it all 1s.
You know the pit/flat surface analogy? He is saying go back over the
burned portion and burn all the flat surfaces into pits.
