Default Erase everything on hard-drive?

Ok, so I want to sell my laptop. My problem is that I run my own business and I have some really valuable information that I want nobody seeing. I heard that even if I delete all my things from my computer, people can still recover things.

So my question is: How can I get rid of everything on my HD so the average or slightly advanced computer user cannot recover my files?

I would be hoping to do this all without formatting my HD cause I wan't the OS and drivers to be on it when I sell it.



Thanks in advanced.
