I routinely also use tomsrtbt,  from Tom's Hardware page,  that's basically a 
single-floppy linux.  It comes in real handy when some uppity installer 
complains because "there's already an OS on that drive!"

Boot that,  and then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc

Not now there ain't!  :-)     Though it take a while on a larger drive.
