Kill All Data on a CD/DVD in 5 seconds or less.

Kill All Data on a CD/DVD in 5 seconds or less.

Why would you want to do this:
++Destroy old backups of a few years
++Remember you burned the special bedroom time to DVD
++Your Ex wants the CD/DVD's back.
++FUN WITH AOL DISK!!!! LOL

Step 1 What you need:

1. Small paper cup.
2. A old working microwave. Sometimes you can get it for free on Freecycle or Craiglst.
3. A place to pug the microwave OUTSIDE or GARAGE

****NOTE****
DO NOT DO THIS IN YOUR HOME
DO NOT USE THE SAME MICROWAVE TO COOK IN

4. The CD/DVD's you wish to destroy.

NOTE:
this does not delete all the data, it just makes it unreadable by computers.
most forensic labs will have a laser tool that can extract most of the data, so the best thing to do would be to torch it with a flame thrower, or blow it up with claymores or C4 or a nuke

[Hycro]

Folding a disc with the aid of a heat gun is fun too:P

[wakojako]

Explosive!? boom!! boom!!

[mmcpherson4]

the disk kinda looks like my brothers halo wars after 174 hours of gameplay

[ReCreate]

probably the best way to corrupt a cd is to put it in my CD burner drive and try to burn ubuntu to it

[ReCreate]

Because My CD Burner Drive is Defective,It fails at Burning every CD I give it

[electrikecho]

Nuked CD's never get old - love the fractal patterns, although you probably won't want to nuke your dinner in the Microwave Oven ever again. Other methods such as shredders work, but the cheapest method (if you already use a disc grinder) is to grind the "up" side of the disc until the aluminum is all gone. Probably takes about 10 seconds, and guarantees all the data is history.

[ReCreate]

Just a single scratch(the the part with data)corrupts the whole filesystem

[sideways]

+1

[ReCreate]

Or you could spin it at 25,000 RPMs,give or take

[Robertwan]

So... what does this method have going for it over... say... hitting the CD repeatedly with a hammer?

[bowmaster]

More danger. Danger is fun. And sexy.

[cyrozap]

LoL. "DO NOT DO THIS IN YOUR HOME" My friend's house?

[knotmuch]

BIG NOTE Vaperized aluminum is toxic to breath and cause damage to your lungs.

[Zippy_Pyromaniac]

I tried this in my home in a new microwave where we cook food. Bad Idea! Stills smells bad in there. The CD started spraying green foam all over microwave?

[hayden966]

actually hard new hard drives have protection.most magnets are not powerfull enough to scramble the data

[jillg]

use high strength neodidium magnets if you need to erase a hard drive.

[rkr]

Another way to erase cd data is simply to break it in half, with your hands (if you don't want to buy a microwave that will render useless to cook food in after you've put a cd in it). CAUTION: if you attempt to break it with your hands you could be injured (splinters, particles in your eyes, etc.) I would recomend wearing goggles. I wasn't harmed when I did it, but I will not be held responsible for any accidents.

[peach_fart]

bend the cd away from you and the shards will shoot away from you. like in this drawing: arm--> =() <cd

hand

[necropolian]

or use them as frisbies (outdoors). that way you'll have some fun with them. (cold and wet weather is recommended)
