Securely erasing all data from a hard drive

I am using Windows 7 64bit on normal HD drives. SATA 2. I don't have a boot disc or copy of Windows.

I want to complete format both my HD and leave nothing on them (including Win 7) can I do this using a command line or do I need some special dos boot disc?

I also want to COMPLETELY erase the HD - I want to fully erase all my disc contents. I have heard all discs contain a history (police, forensics) I want it fully clean.

There are a number of tools. All will require you to boot from CD/DVD or similar.

I used the following ones on several occasions:

A low level format format in any filesystem using an Ubuntu LiveCD should do the trick. But honestly, if it was mine, and I was in legal trouble, I would take the drive out and destroy it with a hammer.
