There are 2 ways to clean a hard drive, 1. run a low level format which will just write 0's to all the sectors or 2. destroy the hard drive ( best choice but more expensive) and replace it with a new one.
Since the data is still there and the data that tells there is information on the drive is what is changed it is easy for the right people to pick thru your hard disk IF they get a hold of it.
Having said that, is there REALLY anything worth digging for on that drive that a regular format wouldn't clean out? you have to make that decision.
