LOL. Nice one.
But on a serious note, here is a link to the best software to erase everything off your disk.
1. This one is the best out there for erasing everything off your disk. Including the OS. Usefull for re-selling the disk or for admins to re-use the disk somewhere else in the company.

2. Good program to delete files off the disk.

In the past when this topic has been raised people have asked about magnetic/degaussing type equipment.
This just happens to be in the front page adverts right now:

At $13,500 cheap it isn't................also it is destructive, but it might be of interest.

The product features a shielded design such that media can be stored near it without being damaged.
The one I used sure as hell wouldn't let you store close to .......
It blew cell phones too
HDD to scrap in 40 seconds
white finger [to me] from having to try and FIGHT said HDD through the magnetic field was damn nigh instant
killed 100+ HDD's in about 8 hours
you have to switch it off and let it cool [5 mins on then 5 off ]
killed 000's of tapes and discs too
was asked to 'nuke' CD's
had to explain CD composition
was given thick gloves and a box
CD killing was a snap
so now I'm in my SIXTIES FFS
WTAF, how did that happen, so no more alterations to the sig, it will remain as is now

I had a job that required us to run BC Wipe on the system's free space every Friday night to clear the slack/free space. However, I still use BCWipePD on all my old HDD that I give away.
