If you have original OS 9 installation CD that came with Powerbook, then you can start PB using this CD (keep "C" key pressed after startup tone, release it when you see smiling Mac icon). When system has already loaded from CD - use "Drive setup" application that should be in "Application(Mac OS 9)/ Utilities/Drive setup" folder and check "zero all data" checkbox in "Initialisation options". Then initialise disk (zeros will be written all over the disk - it should be secure enough) and install fresh system.
