Wiping a Hard Drive

[dmw16]

Is there a free program out there that will wipe a hard drive? I am donating an older computer and I want to wipe the drive before I give it away.

DBAN Great program for what you are wanting to do.

Eraser is also a good one. Open source and very simple interface. You can set it above DoD standards.
