We have done this a number of times at work, but fortunately, I was
never involved in it.  From what I recall, the sys_admin contacted the
corporate security office (who probably contacted DIS), and the
solution was to format the disk something like 10 times.  If you need
more details, contact me at the email address below (I lose my USENET
access tomorrow) and I'll see if I can put you in touch with someone
who's done it.

BTW, I've heard that there are some computers (Macintoshes, I believe)
whose disks cannot be sufficiently declassified, so they're just
destroyed when they're no longer needed.
