The OP said that he wants to dispose of the laptop. There is no need to remove the hard drive. Just smash the laptop a few times with a hammer, making sure the hard drive is bent and can no longer be used. Then, throw it in the trash. To me, that is a lot safer than turning the computer over to a stranger who could steal the data, or installing a software program that may not work.
