The only *sure* way to destroy the data is to destroy the drive.
So, you need to assess the risks of someone recovering the data somehow, and adjust accordingly.
True - destroying the drive would certainly remove any possibility of retrieving the old data.
However, I am hoping that zeroing out the drive a couple of times, as a few people have suggested here - will pretty much eliminate any chance that my personal data could be retrieved.
That is the most I can realistically do as it is not my computer.
