If you want to leave it next to a magnet, be my guest. But it won't do anything, as flash is not sensitive to magnetism. As I mentioned before, I've already tried writing zeroes to a similar flash drive, to no avail. I've since found out that there is special hardware that causes the "CD" portion to be visible and read-only, so I guess doing anything else now is a waste of time.
