Wipe Hard Drive

I have an old PC that I plan to give away on Freecycle. I'd like to wipe the hard drive first though, just in case.
What's the easiest way to do this? I don't think I have Internet access on the old PC so a downloaded product would only be of use if I could transfer it from my main PC.

Try Clean Disk...http://www.theabsolute.net/sware/clndisk.html
I use the free version, which works just as good. Althought the safest way is to not give the HDD away and destroy it!A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.0
