You pulled the hard disk issue out of thin air, bub.

But just to engage in a bit of necrosadobestiality, Disk Utility offers what you want, very obviously and explicitly. The format/erase pane is on the left. When you follow the directions listed *right there* and click on "Security Options", you get the choices on the right.

Now, just for flips and giggles, assume the user hasn't the first clue how to do this. Go to Mac Help, under the Help menu in the Finder. Enter 'erase disk' in the search box. 2nd hit points you to Disk Utility to do this, and even has a link to open it for you.

Could. Not. Be. Simpler.

Now, what does this have to do with MOAB again?
