No. The filesystem will still be there, and all you'd have to do is reconstruct the partition table. And that's not difficult to do.
Blanking the entire drive with zeroes would probably be sufficient for anyone who isn't totally paranoid. It's still possible to recover data off the drive, but probably beyond the capabilities of 99% of people. Unless they really are out to get you, that'll be enough.
