Can i CD be read once snapped in have even by say CIA
First i have nothing to hide ok, i have anxiety disorders and i have OCD . and ever since i was a teen i had this one fear that im hoping someone can put to be. 8 or so years ago my pc got rootkits and a keylogger . I backed my pics vids ect to CD's . then i reformatted and reinstalled windows . now with my anxiety. i always worried what if i accidentally backed up a virus to a cd and if i place the cd in the pc i will be infected again. So i snapped then cds that had program data on them (programs games ) and all the cds i knew had just pics vids i kept. But with snapping cds they go into hundreds of tiny pieces to have 2 or 3 parts of the cd but you get tiny little pieces of cd everywhere , the part of the cd that data is written to . so anyway my anxiety starts again i got tiny shards of cd on my hands on the floor, what if these tiny shards end up on my hand at some point as im touching a cd or dvd they will be transfered from my hand to the disc then the pc will read this tiny shard as its reading the disc and boom i will infect my pc with the virus again. or what if these shards get on a usb stick it will be infect my pc when i plug the usb stick in. See where im going with this i know im crazy but this fear or my pc or electronics getting infect by the rootkit or keylogger from pieces of cd 8 years later , i still have this fear which makes me wash my hands all the time , thinking i have shards of cd on my hands.
So bottom line can a cd be read once its snapped in half. if you took say dime sized cut out pieces of a cd and taped them to another cd and put it in the pc would it read the cd + the dime size cut outs.
Sorry for the long read . but this is a real issue i have .
