HDD wipe utility shareware ?

[Wonderman]

I'm looking for a good and free HDD wipe utility I can run from its own boot
CD. I'm donating a HDD and dont want and cant have the data on the drive
after it leaves my hands. TIA.

Thanks. Did that. Unfortunately there are literally hundreds of them and I
was seeking the esteemed prior experience of the group. Something that has
worked well for someone else.

Thanks.

The thought occured to me that Maxor and every other mfgr. has a utility to
write zero's to the drive. Isnt that what I am after in the long run ?
