When you start up the iMac with your installer disc one of the
options will be to reformat the drive. Choose the erase all- zero
all data option or if your extremely paranoid choose the seven pass
or higher option and then install OSX. This will take a few hours if
you choose that option.

Erasing Mac Hard Drive
I want to remove all personal data from my iMac G4 PowerPC before
selling it. Will using the erase function in "Dick Utility" on the
OS X install disk be adequate? Can I then reinstall OS X
without including personal information so that I can demonstrate it
for a potential buyer?
