However, leaving the partition intact is preferable, just hosing the system. The idea is to keep someone from being able to access data they acquired by inserting a keystroke logger into a system that wasn't theirs to install one on.

The system that has been invaded will be wiped and reconstructed from scratch, so that's not going to be a continuing problem. The only real problem is going after the private data, passwords, and correspondence, that have been stored on another computer in the same house by way of the keystroke logger. Any damage done to the other computer will not be intentional, but if it happens in the course of inhibiting the unauthorized retreival and/or perusal of the private data, that will have to be considered an unavoidable consequence.

This method seems to be the least damaging among the few we have contemplated, but leaves obvious evidence that the system has been compromised. Suggestions are welcome. Skate as close as you dare to the edge of legality -- this is an internal family matter, and prosecution is unlikely to result. But do try to stay legal.
