There are several drive wipe programs that make multiple passes writing 101010 Then 010101 then 00000 then 11111 over and over to the drive, at least 3 passes of this and you are well past the point where a casual hacker with normal resources can dig out the data (The FBI however can still read the drive)
The Mil-Spec, starts with drilling holes, smashing with hammer, blowing up with hand gernade, flaming with flame thrower and running over with a tank.
But you need not go that far.
