I suggest that if you really want something like this, you have to reboot to a Linux CD, and run something like this 'shred -fz /dev/hda'. That will wipe out all data on the box with 25 overwrites of random data, and then nicely lays down 0s to cover your tracks. Nothing is going to save you, when the feds are knocking at the door short of a full degaussing of the drive. I have heard that some intelligence agencies have effectively done this, so they can destroy information in an emergency.
The method we used at Ryan was more effective, not to mention quicker and far more fun: take the drive apart and bead-blast the platters. then shred them.
