what is a good way to mess up a laptop hard drive without using magnets or hitting it alot. by mess up i mean make it so there is no way you can read anything or write anything to it. i dont know what to delete or what. dont ask why. the hard drive is easily removable.

If you just wanna erase it, do a low-level format. To render it useless: EMP or strong static discharge. Bye-bye HD. Some red loc-tite on the bearing would probably work too.

In CS101 they were lecturing us about hard drives and formatting and whatever drivel and the subject turned to a company who's business it was to retreive whatever data they can from supposedly unrecoverable discs. According to my lecturer, the only drive that they could not get a single piece of recognisable data was one where the owner must have gotten pretty nonplussed and decided the best course of action would be to unload a few .45s into his case.Originally posted by i_baked_cookiesComment

If you just open it up and expose the platters to dirt and dust it will be useless as a HD. But Jonneh is right, there are companies who can retreve data off just about any non-phusically destroyed HD. A Degausser would be your best bet. It does a good enough job that government and large corperations use em before they throw away old drives.

partition
If you don't care about the data, just remove the partition and don't put a new one on it...that way the drive is still ok. To re-use it just put a new partition on it, and format.

use a blow torch! just put a high temp flame to the outside case for a few seconds and then take it away. do this a couple times and you will melt the disks inside enough to make it inopperable, but not damage the outside.Comment
