For those that are interested in throwing away a drive or even just killing any possible recovery of files on it here is my suggested method.

You want to first zero write the drive.

http://www.killdisk.com/

Then use a crypter like truecrypt.

http://www.truecrypt.org

After that the info on the drive should be gone and unrecoverable.
Superman I am here to rescue you.
