Long formats vary in what they actually do. You need to find a program that writes 0's to every bit of your hard drive.
Maxtor used to have such a program which format the drive and wrote 0's to every bit from a floppy. I no longer have it. I wish I did. Seagate which bought out Maxtor and then discontinued their hard drive line has a program they say will do it but after downloading it the option is not there.

PhotoRoy9 see the following About DBAN.
Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) is a free erasure software designed for consumer or home use. However, users should be aware of its limitations, especially for larger environments such as a company or organizational network. Limitations include:
DBAN is a self-contained boot disk that automatically and completely deletes the contents of any hard disk that it can detect. It is a means of ensuring due diligence in computer recycling, a way of preventing identity theft if you want to sell a computer, and a solution to totally clean a Microsoft Windows installation of viruses and spyware. DBAN prevents or thoroughly hinders all known techniques of hard disk forensic analysis.
