Secure Wipe and Delete

Hey...

I lost some data recently, and found some software that got it all back, even stuff i deleted some time ago...

Out of curiosity, i scanned a machine that i am selling on EBay, and it has recovered every partition i have ever made, 90% are useless as i must have gone over them, but 5 or 6 partitions from the past have my data on, inc bank and passwords and company (IP)...

I was thinking, I have wiped windows XP, deleted all partitions and created them again, went for the long format and not quick, i thought there would never be much data left, how wrong hey.

So anyone know of Free or Paid tools that are good at getting rid of data for good?

Thanks...
