But from his original post he wants to make sure everything is cleanly deleted without affecting the existing OS. In this case I don't think what you are trying to do is possible, but it also depends on how securely you are trying to make your deletes. Do you want to hide it from the schmo you are taking in to service your computer or are you trying to hide it from the FBI?
