Q: 24" iMac 7,1 hard drive failure

After moving across oceans the HD has failed on the iMac. Booted into a cloned drive via Firewire but neither Disk Tools nor Disk Warrior will make the internal HD appear. So before I sell it (or replace the HD) I'd like to erase the HD. I can pull it apart and do that but if there is anyway to avoid that I'd be grateful for suggestions.

 

I love this old machine:

Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:2.8 GHz
  Number Of Processors:1
  Total Number Of Cores:2
  L2 Cache:4 MB
  Memory:6 GB
  Bus Speed:800 MHz

but those FW jacks are so unreliable I will likely just replace it.

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), iMac 24" 2.8 ghz 4 GB RAM
