Well, then I have to do some advertising too :-)
You can as well use my little tool called "DESTROY" -

Of course it's useful! By the way, bigger is the choice of tools, better will 
be FreeDOS.

I'm not sure that such things are really meant to be done by FreeDOS... 
FreeDOS is an operating system, not a massive destructor :-)
You can use for example DBAN (Darik's Boot And Nuke), which is an open-source 
bootable CD giving many usefull option to unrecoverably erase hard drives.

I use it each time I am selling an used computer, and it do the work very 
nicely.
