I wanted to wipe a hard drive on my old netbook before selling it. I had success by creating a bootable USB stick with DBAN - Darik's Boot and Nuke.
Pen Drive Linux : Installs a OS image (iso) to a USB stick and makes it bootable

DBAN : a small Linux Distro for Nuking Hard disks.

DBAN 'autonuke' wipes all drives on the system, including the DBAN USB stick, would be nice to know how to only wipe specified drives....maybe next time.
This looks like a useful tool to have in the box:
