With the recycling event coming up, I am getting questions on how to wipe a drive BEFORE bringing it in.  I am looking for recommendations for a bootable CD that "grandma" could use to wipe the drive.  Any ideas right off the top of your heads?  
This does NOT need to be a DOD wipe, just to keep stuff from prying eyes.
 
I know that the ultimate boot CD is my first option with instructions on how to get to the HD wipe tools.
 
Thanx everyone!!
