Default Anyone know some good programs to use for reformating a hard drive?

The standard reformat engine that comes loaded with WindowsXP is way too slow and doesn't reformat every part of the hard drive. What are some good ones that you guys know or use that are fast and reformat a hard drive close to completely?

www.killdisk.com <---This is a rather good program that boots off of a floppy. I've had good experiences with it.

If it is a Maxtor or Quantum drive, Maxblast is awesome!
