High powered electric magnet? Oh... I suppose you might want it to still work, eh?

 

I've never done it on a mac, but with windows, starting with 2000, you could always boot from the OS disc and everything you needed would be on there. Option to reformat before installation was always there. I'd imagine you could do the same thing on a mac.

insert disk into drive

 

restart

 

hold down "C" key to boot from CD

 

after it starts up select the language

 

then goto the menu bar, utilities, disk utility, select your hard drive, then hit the "erase" button, at the bottom you will see a "security options" button. click that and then select "zero out data"

 

once thats done you can reinstall the OS
