Free eraser? Yes put the operating system disk in the drive and reformat it. After it is reformatted run all the windows updates, etc. and then defragment that hard drive.
Thats about as good as it gets. Otherwise yank the hard drive and don't sell it with the computer (Which means ya probably won't sell the computer) Keep in mind even on a formatted drive there ARE labs that can recover data, but since I seriously doubt anybody is going to send your used machine to the FBI reformatting is probably your best and cheapest bet.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16 KJV
Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
