You need to write all zero's on the drive. I use a downloaded program called wipe. Also the Western Digital Diagnostic has a write zero function if you have that type of hard disk. Warning- after you have written zeros the disk will be unreadable in DOS until you run FDISK. It should be recognised by the Red Hat instaler however.
