    you can select the drive in disk management and choose to format,

    you can download CCleaner, which has a drive wipe on it

    you can download and burn DBan to a cd , but you will have to insure that you choose the correct drive to wipe.

    Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN): http://dban.org/ Use ImgBurn to create a bootable CD from the DBAN iso file: http://www.imgburn.com/ Both DBAN and ImgBurn are free. How to use ImgBurn: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/61-how-to-write-an-image-file-to-a-disc-using-imgburn/
