All you needed was to format the drive with a 7 pass (or 35 pass if it makes you feel better) security erase. Or just remove the drive and donate the rest of the laptop. Smashing it up with a hammer is just absurd.
The OP agreed to recycle the machine. Hopefully donating it to someone in need instead of destroying it. Even selling it cheaply is better than creating more landfill.
Not sure why this thread is still going.
