It would boot to the screen where it finds your keyboard (the black DOS screen) and then would say something like this "Operating System missing." Why would you erase your hard drive with a demagnetizer? Just blow away the partition and reinstall your OS. Unless you're going to have government officials analyzing your computer's hard drive, the chances of someone else retrieving your old files would be slim to none.
