I'm sure that'd be effective, for various reasons (heat and magnetics aren't friends, never mind the incineration of the contents). But I wouldn't advise trying that for personal drive destruction. No doubt the drive's are built from stuff hazardous to one's health. Lot's of fun though, I'm sure. I have a friend who's got a video of him burning a Windows CD, literally - the installation disc being held over a gas flame. I've toyed with the idea of doing it myself. ;-) -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
