If you need to erase data files on your pc and you know where they are, there is a shareware program floating around the net called "eraser". After you install it you can right click on individual files and "erase" them. It has several levels of wiping (#of passes of writing zeros). I think you can customize your own too.

If you want to erase the whole drive, I use Darin's boot and nuke. You create a floppy disk and boot it up. It is linux so it isn't the most user friendly , but not bad. It totally wipes the entire disk. It takes a couple days depending on HD size, but is very effective.

You can google both of those and find them. PM me if anyone has trouble finding them.
