They use funky screws, and usually the top and bottom half are glued together using that crazy industrial-strength stuff. Pain in the butt, much easier to just dig a hole and bury it ;)Actually get some screenshots of the junk on it before digging its grave, then post the pix on your blog and claim you sent it in for repair and it came back with all this illegal stuff. Instant Digg bait, especially if you claim you sent it in to Apple, Dell, or geek squad. :P*legal notice: Don't do that* You’re right about the sledgehammer thing, hard drives are a pain to get apart even with all the proper tools.

I use the built in Mac tool as well.So that's good at least but I still doubt one can easily break a hard drive with a sledgehammer... Jeremy,

Why am I not shocked that you’re the one that would post instructions on this?

Actually, I use a program called eraser on my Windows machines to keep erasing the free space. I use the built in Mac tool as well.

So that’s good at least but I still doubt one can easily break a hard drive with a sledgehammer…
