HDD Eraser

[Minority]

Anyone know of a decent free HDD eraser that is a boot CD and will essentially erase the entire hard drive, say three passes?

The drive inquestion is SATA if that makes a difference.

Thanks

P.S. Reason - I am sending a laptop away for repair and I have passwords, emails and all sorts of personal info I want to get rid of.

Use Darik's Boot and Nuke. It's the best i've used. make sure you've got plenty of time before telling it to use the DoD erase method. Last time I ran it it took 5 hours to overwrite everything 35 times.
