I used DBAN to securely wipe an 80GB hard drive in an IBM Thinkpad T20 laptop. Now, I cannot initialize the drive either on the laptop or on another machine in a USB HD Enclosure. Here is the procedure I followed to wipe the drive: It seemed the computer was dead and unrecoverable. Using the recovery console, I ran CHKDSK with the switch on to repair bad sectors. This took overnight. It ...

I was a bit weary of recovering using my Linux partition...but I found a neat Windows app (ZAR) that was able to identify the previous file structure and restore everything including directories and file names. So it's as good as new, now.

Another vote for dban from me. 1 pass is enough, 3 if you are feeling really paranoid. An alternative would be to do a clean install of windows and then use CCleaner or Eraser to securely wipe the unused areas of the disk.
