Darik's Boot and Nuke

If you are ever looking to really erase your hard drive then the following link is rather helpful:
Darik's Boot and Nuke

If you just format your drive you just erase the table saying where the files are, but you do not actually remove the bits describing the files form your hard drive. You might think that you could just write all 0's to your hard drive and that would do it, but of course there are some clever people out there so to really do it you actually need to write over it in a random pattern a number of times. In addition, of course there are also further complications. Luckily this disk takes care of all of that for you.

WARNING - if you make a disk from this website and you put that disk in a computer and the computer restarts - everything on the hard drive will be gone with absolutely no way of recovering it. So before you make the disk label it and then only put it in a computer if you really mean it.

If you want to download it scroll down to Download and click on Floppy Version and then pick the mirror closest to you. Then click on the icon on the right of the screen corresponding with that mirror. After the files are downloaded run the install program. For further instructions see the links under download or ask me.
