If you would like to erase and wipe all information from your harddrive, I reccommend you use Active@ KillDisk. This powerful and compact DOS software allows you to destroy all data on hard and floppy drives completely, excluding any possibility of future recovery of deleted files and folders. This is security software for unrecoverable data elimination for any computer capable of booting in DOS mode from floppy drive. It uses access to the drive's data on a physical level via BIOS bypassing logical drive structure organization, thus it does not matter operating systems and file systems located on the machine, it can be DOS, Windows 95 / 98, Windows NT / 2000 / XP, Linux, Unix for PC. Active@ KillDisk conforms to US Department of Defense clearing and sanitizing standard DoD 5220.22-M. You can be sure that once you clean up with Active@ KillDisk, sensitive information is purged out forever. We highly recommend you to run this FREE utility for the hard and floppy drives you want to dispose of, recycle, re-use, sell or donate to somebody.
Please note: If the CIA or FBI is after you, destroy the hard drive. It is possible to recover data even if it has been erased and written over many times.

East-tec Eraser
I've used it for years.
The free trial will wipe your drive according to the US Defense Department standards.
It is impossible to recover the data after using it so be careful.
Even FBI and law enforcement techniques cannot recover the data.
You select what is to be erased. Your operating system is safe. You can keep any files you choose.
It automatically locates and erases hidden log files in your operatiing system, even if they are locked.

Careful, it's easy to wipe the hard drive, but that takes WinMe with it, If you have a restore disk you could wipe the disk and then put WinMe back on it.
If you want to wipe the whole disk, use Darik's Boot & Nuke.
