The best way to format your hard drive without a Windows disc is to obtain a copy of Linux (any distribution will do) and run the installer, making sure that you select options to use the whole hard drive. You will then have a hard drive with Linux on it which you can either keep on your computer, or install another OS on top. An alternative method is to use Darik's Boot and Nuke, which will destroy the data on most hard drives. You can get it from dban.sourceforge.net.

Insert hard drive CD when you start up your computer. Check box when it asks you if you want to delete and re-use your hard drive.

You can also use DBAN or wipedrive - both these free and paid for products will erase / wipe your hard drive to DOD standards. Be more specific please.
