I've been using DBAN (Darik's Boot And Nuke) for years, not because I have anything to hide, but to eliminate the possibility of ghosting and artifacts when switching from Japaneses to English OS. Sometimes it's quick, sometimes it takes for-fucking- ever, but it's always effective. DBAN is good because it installs a bit of linux in your RAM to run the program, so it wipes everything including the boot sectors. It's as close as you can get to a brand-new virgin HD.
