As long as the surface of the disk hasn't been damaged, it will continue to accept and store new data. A magnet does no harm to the material on the disk that actually retains data.

You should be able to. The magnet just erases the data that is there but it doesn't necessarily affect the disk's ability to store data. You may have to quick-format the disk first, but it should be fine.

i wouldnt.....if the disk has been erased by a magnet it may not even hold new information....but still the main point is that the disk has been damaged in some way and probably isnt safe for storing info any longer

No, cause the disk is damaged by the magnetism,
