The magnet works best...find an old car speaker (like a 6" X 9") and break the magnet off the back of it, then just leave it sitting on the hard drive for about 10 - 15 min...it will render the hard drive useless, but no one will be able to recover anything from it!! The DOD program is called "Boot & Nuke" and it will wipe the drive with all zero's up to seven times (and it takes HOURS!!) It is available in the UBCD boot disk which can be found numerous places on the net. Just google "UBCD" and you'll find it...don't use the Windows version, use the CD bootable .iso image. There are a number of hard drive "wiping" tools in this program. Your best bet, if you're worried about someone "finding" your data is to remove the RAM and Hard Drive and replace them with brand new (not used) stuff!!
