I suspect most CD burners are designed to disallow overwriting of data already written to a CD-R. Otherwise the software method would already exist and you'd see lots of people treating CD-Rs as rewritable discs. Which they aren't. Personally I'd physically destroy the disc using whatever method you prefer, eg. removing the label with steel wool, or disintegrate the disc with a shredder. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
