You can fetch dBan; burn a CD; boot and run it to completely wipe the
HD..
/or/ You can boot a Linux live CD/DVD and use the 'dd' command to
completely fill the HD with zero's:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd_ bs=1M

I've read that a complete wipe from M$ to Linux is needed because of
hidden files a normal delete or re-partition wont touch.. ?? ..
