Take the hard drive out, take out screws/steel cover, and break up the discs inside with a hammer. 5 minutes work. Much quicker than any format.
There are thousands of hard drives around. Old small ones cost nothing now.

Or he could buy an external hard drive caddy as use the old drive with the new pc, as extra storage, back up or transporting files.
