HDShredder
Completely erase your drive contents using this tool

There will come a time when you need to give your PC to another user (as you’ve upgraded to a new machine) or will need to dispose of the computer, either by selling it online or simply taking it down the skip for recycling. Either way, if you get rid of the computer, the hard drive will be full of personal information and you’ll want to erase this sensitive information from the machine. The trouble is that even if you think you’ve completely removed personal data, some information can still be recovered. You don’t need to be a system recovery professional to find software that can extract data from formatted hard drives.

HDShredder is designed to delete the content of hard drives and other mass storage devices as well as use it to delete data from individual partitions. HDShredder works independent of partition layout, file system, and operating system.

HDShredder also enables you to define specific deletion patterns as well as deletion procedures.
