Hook it up as a slave, and go to my computers, and format.

If not you can always use something like Boot Nuke.
 
grab a chunky magnet rub it over the hard-drive lots and i think it does the job. heard it somewhere. if not go use one of those put in floppy = kill selected HD kinda 20kilabytes programs.
 
Download killdisk here

I had a similar issue. I wanted to use my old HD as a small storage unit, but it kept on saying that it was using some files off of the hard drive. I used killdisk to take windows competely off the hd. now it serves me well as a storage drive... :)
