What is the best way to destroy data on disks without damage disks?

Thanks
 
there may be utilities for purging/wiping/etc.; but there was a report out recently where the lab doing the testing was able to recover data overwritten more than 50 times... apparently, the disks have a longer memory than we thought... ;-) JTB
