Not as far as I know - it may be possible if the cd drive is external. Of course it is not usual to have deleted files on a CDR. If you're that worried about security then copy the files you wish to keep to another CDR and put the suspect CDR into the microwave for 2 secs, or until it sparks. Quite interesting, and quite unrecoverable.

Hi Augeas,
Don't forget sometimes Recuva is used to recover files. :lol:
Keep up the good work,

Not after the microwave treatment, it isn't!

Actually I was curious to know what the OP expected to find on a CD? Cheers, A (research still continuing).
