Best way... I know its a stupid question... But The girlfriend got ★■◆● on there she don't want me finding... I get a free drive if I can prove to her that her ★■◆● is gone and I can't get it back. What can I do besides NTFS format to completely destroy all info and still have the drive useable(aka not a magnet)

Just do an NTFS quick format. Only takes a few seconds, and to her it will appear as if everything is gone. You get the free drive, and do whatever the hell you want with it later. ;)

OK it used eraser with the DoD format 7 sweep. It added a directory to the drive... I just deleted it when it was done... Now I need info on Ghosting my current Drive :)
