You do speak of that which you do not know.

I want to wipe information belonging to me off of a drive
belonging to someone else. Hammering someone else' drive
is not an acceptable measure.

Also, I want to wipe someone else' information off my currently
used disc, in such a way they can be assured it is truly
gone.

Hammering my own disc is not an acceptable measure, either.

Try geting some context before jumping in next time, ok?
