Hi, anyone knows how to clear format, can not recover data, no hidden data on HD? what kind of software do I use? Thank you
 
Depends who you are trying to hide your data from.

Kill disk will do a respectable job, but not against forensic analysis.
If you really want to be safe, then, grind down into fine dust, then heat till there is a molten mass, let cool. dump.

I really don't think your mum will go to those lengths to find out what pron you have on your hdd lol
 
The software with many drives includes a low level formatting prog. Some versions of Norton SystemWorks include a utility that will write all zeros in multiple passes and delete info to DES standards.
 
Pick the highest level of this and run it for a couple of days. That should make everything all gone.
