Simple program to fully erase all data?

Is there a program to fully erase/overwrite the data on a haddisk?

I have two drives that I want to sell but know that formatting does not really erase the data and that there are programs that write zeros and ones to the drive to overwrite all data?

and Darik's Nuke and Boot

Both burn to a bootable floppy or CD and will do the job nicely.
