To erase a Macintosh hard disk you can boot with a different disk and use the Disk Utility.

For OS X 10.2-10.7:

If you have a built-in disc drive, power on your Mac so you can insert the OS X installation disc into the slot. Now power off your Mac from the  menu or by holding the power button. Briefly press the power button, then immediately hold the option key while your Mac boots up.

For a more secure method of erasing of data, you can select the checkbox “8 Way Random Write Format” instead of or in addition to selecting “Zero all data.” This process could take several hours.

For OS 10.8 and newer:

Secure Erase is documented in the Help menu of the Disk Utility application. Disk Utility has shipped on all OS X versions in /Applications/Utilities folder.

To erase your computer’s startup disk, you must start up from another disk, such as an OS X installation disc or from the Recovery Disk. All new OS devices come with a built-in Recovery Disk which can be used by restarting and holding down the R key. A Recovery Disk can also be created on an external hard disk or thumb drive using the Recovery Disk Assistant:

Securely erase a disk in OS X 10.8 or newer

The following is a summary of the Disk Utility help available from the Help menu when running the Disk Utility application:

You can securely erase a disk or partition to make sure the confidential information it contains cannot be recovered.

When erasing a disk or partition, Disk Utility does not erase the actual files; it erases only the information used to access the files. Many commonly available disk recovery apps can easily recover the files. When securely erasing a disk or partition, Disk Utility writes over the erased files, so they can never be recovered. You can choose how many times to write over the files. Writing over the files several times is more secure than writing over them once, but it takes longer.

Securely erasing a disk erases files on all its partitions. Securely erasing a partition erases all the files on that partition but does not affect other partitions.

You can’t securely erase a CD, DVD, or a solid-state drive. If you don’t want data recovered from a solid-state drive, use full disk encryption.

To erase your computer’s startup disk, you must start up from another disk, such as an OS X installation disc or from the Recovery Disk .

  1. Open Disk Utility application from the Utility Folder in the Applications folder or select it from the list when booting from the Recovery Disk.
  2. Select the disk or partition to erase, and then click Erase.
  3. Specify a format, and enter a name for the disk.
  4. Click Security Options, use the slider to choose how many times to write over the data on the disk, and click OK. Writing over the data three times meets the U.S. Department of Energy standard for securely erasing magnetic media. Writing over the data seven times meets the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22-M standard. Single pass or “Zeroing out” the date is adequate for most
  5. Click Erase.

Also for those wanting to “Clean” individual files, note this section from the technote:

Note: When you securely empty the Trash, the deleted data cannot be recovered by disk utilities. You should only do this if you have a backup or you are sure you will never need the data again.

For machines which boot only MacOS 9 or less use either Drive Setup, Apple HD SC Setup, or Internal HD Format and select the option to zero out and/or low level format the disk. These programs are usually in the Utilities Folder on the install CDs for the various versions of the MacOS.
