If you really, really want to erase the hard drive, I recommend using the floppy-based PowerMax utility you can download from maxtor.com. Among other things, it can do a low-level reformat of the drive, and since the software is coming from the people who make the drives, you can pretty well trust it to do a good job. PowerMax also has some excellent nondesctructive diagnostics. It's a program I recommend at every opportunity -- and it's free!
I second what Paul says. I have used the power-max utility and found it excellent. Jake
