Would some of you please tell me what software I can use to completely wipe my hard drive, including the OS.
I already know that simply doing a clean install isn't the answer.
Prefer free if possible.
And easy to use. I'm still new.
Thanks.

You can download DBAN, Darik's Boot and Nuke to either a floppy or a CD and use it for that. You can choose any of several methods of wiping with varying degrees of thoroughness, but just using it to write the entire drive to zeros will suit most purposes.
