Hi,

I recommend using free KillDisk software to erase your drive. KillDisk
erases the whole HDD, it is impossible to recover any data after using
it. KillDisk also supports some highly secure erase algorithms such as
DoD M5220 and Guttman's. After using KillDisk you should re-partition
and re-format your drive to use it from scrath. Head to
www.killdisk.com for more info and download.
