What you should do here is to open a window of notepad. Enter

FORMAT C:
(INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY)
and save the file as disk_destroyer_basic.bat.

This won't spread or do anything fancy. It will just wipe your hard disk. There are a few quirks to be worked out with this method, but like I said, informational purposes only.

Doing so may also remove your Windows installation if your Windows install is on C:
Be careful.

Yes he is quite right.

Buy a disc drive and use a Windows CD.

Take it out of your computer and use some Windex and a rag.

If you want to completely wipe it, get a OS CD, go to Advanced Options, ( Or Custom in the Vista and W7 installers ), select the partition you want to wipe and just hit format.
