Are you talking, like low-level format? If so, you'll need utilities from your hdd company. DO NOT use another one.
Why do you need to do a heavy erase like that? Covering your hinie?

If you get norton ghost it has a utility called GDISK that will do just that. We used it here at work to do exactly that. DOS command line type thing.

OP
I'm going to sell my PC and need to COMPLETELY erase without a trace everything.
