remove the hard drive, open up the drive using the appropriate tool (some sort of a screw driver) then wipe it out. presto, you will have a damaged drive!

i don't know what you mean by manually but you could try getting a strong magnet and putting it over your hard drive

Or if you don't require the drive have some fun and hit it with a big hammer until it is flat or in pieces, eye protection required!

Go to your DOS prompt in start/programs/ms-dos prompt. Type cd\ "enter" Type format c: "enter" It will ask if you really want to do this. y/n. Make sure you have a boot disc to re-start. I will only recognise that drive then. Put in your windows disc and follow the instructions

Yes, this can be done with something known as a bulk eraser, or a degausser. These products can be ordered online, or if you are near larger cities you may be able to find them for rent.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMENT IT BUT YOU CAN TAKE MAGNET AND RUB IT. BUT IF YOU WANT TO DO IT RIGHT: WHICH I STRONGLY RECOMMEND, BUY A SCRUB DISK OR IF YOU HAVE UTILITY,
BOOT TO IT AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS.KEEP IN MIND ONCE YOU SCRUB IT , ITS GONE.
