I used a program called Darik's Boot and Nuke. It will completely wipe your hard drive clean. Just to warn you this will delete anything and everything on hard drive. All of your picture, music, and your OS will be deleted, I would backup anything you want to keep and put on your computer after your hard drive is clean. Here's the website: http://dban.sourceforge.net/ . Hope this helps.
 
Is that a sata or ide drive in the case there? If sata you would need to prepare a driver disk with the drivers for the sata controller on it. Once that is doen press the install sata/raid drivers now key to browse to the floppy. The installer will then read and load those for detecting the drive. To simply wipe any drive clean you can use GParted for deleting the existing partition and later create a new ntfs primary. Simply wiping the drive won't stop the errors from being seen without the driver disk made up if that's a sata.
