Do you mean wipe it so nothing is left on the drive, since that would be before you inserted the OS CD?

Download Boot N Nuke, boot off that. At the prompt when it's waiting for input, just type in "autonuke" and it will wipe the drive. Make sure you don't have anything on that drive you want to keep as it will not just delete the data, it will over-write the space with random characters making recovery pretty much impossible.
