I'm about to give an older computer to a friend of mine, but before I do so I would like to clean the hard drive thoroughly. I was thinking that a few ` dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda ` would do the job, but am unsure of what block size to use. Is there an easy way to find out the hard drive's block size?

Thanks a ton!
