Do a low-level format with three (or more) passes and the HDD should be safe to give away.
Either look on your HDD vendor's site, some provide tools to format the HDD. Or use a specialized application like KillDisk which supports several different methods to format the HDD.

But probably the safest way to erase your HDD is to destroy and burn it You can buy a new one or sell the computer without a HDD.
