Go to the manufacturer website and download their hard drive utility to write zero's to the drive. This is called a low-level format. This will wipe out the drive (and OS) and not make it recoverable no matter what....or so I was told.
Replacing the hard drive with a new one is also a good idea Then drive a screwdriver or nail thru before discarding. Never assume just because it is thrown in the trash its gone.
