obviously, you don't want to take out the HD and smash it because you
will loose your guarantee, so try to go through this
http://www.infoanarchy.org/wiki/wiki.pl?File_Wipe

and I suggest pgp tools to wipe your data. you can select the number
of rewrites with those tools. The more sensitive your data, the more
rewrites you should attempt.

Subject : Hard Drive data security

Hi,
   I have a question about hard drive data security. The hard drive
on my notebook is failing and Dell is going to replace it. They are
going to take the old one with them. How can I securely remove the
data from the hard drive?

Thanks,
Paul
