dd_rescue /dev/zero /dev/sd(x) from any live linux environment (drives should not be mounted ususally) will do the trick no matter what kind of partitions/filesystems are on there.

Rip Linux is a great minimal live environment (the non-X version is what we use at work) and works great for this type of thing.

I can't find the thread that
talked about a DOD level of cleaning a hard drive. I thought that it was
about a distro but I can't remember where I put that info. Plus, I had to
do a clean install of my main system when the hard drive crashed a few weeks ago,
so that info could have been on it. It needs to run from a CD and work
with SATA hard drives. Deleting NTFS partitions would be great too.
