Ok, now that I understand the specifics of you situation, I would
recommend that you move your data to an external disk.
Then boot the computer with Knoppix or a rescue cd.
shred -vx /dev/hda (or what ever your disk is called )
Now this will blow away everything, OS, and partition table included,
but you can be pretty sure the data is gone.
