So now we know what Jon Venables has been doing under his new identity. From the Guardian:
Half an hour later, the probation officer found his 27-year-old charge sitting at a desktop computer frantically hacking away at the hard drive with a knife, and then a tin opener. “I’m trying to reformat the hard drive,” Venables said, explaining that he wanted to delete personal details.
He has obviously been working in IT tech support. We always use the knife and tin opener approach instead of the old, unreliable FORMAT C: which ‘civilians’ use.

I tend to find a hammer and chisel to be the most effective formatting tool.

And what is wrong with the tried and tested thermite-based formatting technique?
