I need to remove EVERYTHING off of my Power Mac G4.
EVERYTHING.
All files
All folders
ANYTHING and EVERYTHING
even the operating system(s) if I have to.
I have tried the disk utility, and was unsucessful.
(don't even mention it in your answer)
What program (in .dmg format of course) can help me accomplish my urgent task?

Sorry, I need to mention Disk Utility. That is what you need to use. Once you select the hard drive you wish to erase, you go to the erase button. It then gives you choices. One of which will not only erase the hard drive but make any information on the hard drive unrecoverable. If you have the DVD or CD that the original MacOs came on, you can start up with that disk (hold down c) and it has an application to reformat your drive also.

Maybe you could tell us the OS.............That might help
Just buy a new HD and slap it in. It can have much more than an 80 giger anyway.
