Hard drive data destruction

stormdogI have been using Darik's Boot and Nuke on hard drives to irretreivable destroy data stored on them.
If I wanted to check to see whether any data on those drives could be recovered with commonly available tools, would would be the best way to look? I used to have a tool or two for finding deleted files and such, but it's been a while. Any good recomendations on something I can use to see just how gone that data is before giving those drive to other people, or selling them alone or as part of computers?

EDIT:
Well, maybe this answers my questions.
