I just bought a H/P laptop with a web cam. My questions are:

Once I capture the images, would I be able to place them on a cd/dvd?

If I delete the images, and the machine breaks and if I take it to be repaired , can the person fixing it be able to see them, even though they have been deleted?

There is some basic information there, but not enough to substantiate my fears. Thank you,

Yes you can transfer them to cd/dvd. If you delete an image and empty the recycling bin then your relatively safe. In order to be seen again a data recovery software would need to be used which, unless you are looking for that, is unlikely. However, I'd still caution you to think about this before going forward. In the event you leave the cd/dvd in the drive when someone else uses the computer, forget to delete a picture, or get hit by a virus you run the risk of other's seeing these "pics".
