I would use Ghost to Image the whole drive. It is fairly fast and you will build up less heat than a 5-6 hour copy from the PowerMax tools. Then I would use this DOS TOOL
Active@ KillDisk is a quality security application that destroys data permanently from any computer that can be started using a DOS floppy disk. Access to the drive's data is made on the physical level via the Basic Input-Output Subsystem (BIOS), bypassing the operating systems logical drive structure organization. Regardless of the operating system, file systems or type of machine, this utility can destroy all data on all storage devices. Thus it does not matter operating systems and file systems located on the machine, it can be DOS, Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT/2000/XP, Linux, Unix for PC. Active@ KillDisk Professional conforms to US Department of Defense clearing and sanitizing standard DoD 5220.22-M. You can be sure that once you wipe a disk with Active@ KillDisk, sensitive information is destroyed forever
SHAREWARE
I hav'nt used it before, but you could run it 8X just to be sure.
