Is it possible to erase data on a hard disk drive with a powerful magnet, but then be able to use the drive and the PC again? > > bye/B$H > Nice Q. ! Do you have a clean room at hand ? If not you shouldn't open the harddisk casing. Then you could try alternating magnetic fields, with enough strength to induce electric currents in the casing, which would possibly produce strong enough magnetic fields in the interior, to erase the surfaces of the disk platters. Mhhh, you might need to cool the casing, it could simply melt down from induced heat. All in all, nothing practical.... :) Caraciola - -- Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
