Have a read of this Bruno, it's perfect for the job.

 

Darik's Boot And Nuke | Hard Drive Disk Wipe

 

Or this even

 

Disk Wipe - Free software

what is the purpose for wiping it...

if it to just do a re-install then use your xp cd or recovery partition that will wipe the hard drive for you......

 

if you are giving it away or getting rid, then use the software suggested above by Wolfeymole....
