I use Eraser, free from Heidi Computers, Ltd.

It takes a long time, even if you choose to overwrite the disk only once,
because there's a lot of data to overwrite.
Format first, then erase free space. I say that because I don't think
Eraser will overwrite the used space - but I haven't used it in a while, so
I could be wrong.
