Use DBAN and set it to overwrite several times. It's as close as you'll get to total data destruction without taking the drive out and setting an angle grinder on it.

Why not buy a cheap small 80gb drive for the laptop and use your existing drive as a USB backup drive. You can get a cheap drive for about £30ishRule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

DBAN downloaded at 1.6mb so won't fit on a 3.5" floppy, which is the only access point for this laptop. It's old (only has an 18Gb HD!) so I might just trash the whole thing.Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostComment

Run DD and wipe the hard drive clean with some zeros.If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment

If you know the manufacturer of the hard-disk, download their utilities, you'll probably find a low-level format utility in there.Originally posted by Durbs View Post
Another way would be to delete all the files you don't want and use Defrag to move the remaining data/files over the top of the original files.
Just a suggestion.Comment
