For installing a different OS? (Which one?)

To hide data?

This is all you need on modern dives:
dd bs=1M count=Z if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdXY

If the value of this command drops below 200, wiggle the mouse around:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail

Depends on what you want to accomplish. If you merely want to make the
disk appear empty use fdisk to delete all the partitions. If you want
to destroy all the data for security purposes install and use shred. It
will take quite a while on a large disk.
