There are “shredding” programs out there for sale which you can boot from a
CD/DVD or USB stick which can wipe (with varying degrees of security depending
on how paranoid you are) any disk. Try search argument “hard drive wipe
software”.

Subject: OFF TOPIC - DELETING ALL FILES SOFTWARE FROM A LAPTOP
Good Day To All,
Can anybody suggest how I can delete all the files, software etc. from an
old laptop before I scrap it? The laptop in question is a DELL VISTA. I asked
the experts at DELL but they couldn't tell me because of a lack of
documentation.
Thanks.
Willie
