No dude.  If you have a hard drive with sensitive info on it, and you 
want to be 100% sure that information will never be accessed, you 
destroy the drive.  Think drills, hammers, grinders, vice grips, stump 
grinders, whatever.  But those platters shouldn't be in recognizable form.

There are also bootable disks you can download to format the drive in 
such a manner as to make sure everything is really gone, but it never 
ceases to amaze me the the next level of recovery companies are able to 
achieve.
