use /dev/zero
There is a device file on most systems called /dev/zero. It is exactly what it seems a file of zeros! If it is not there you should be able to create it.
If you write this file to the Harddrive it should do the trick. And I would do it seven times for completeness!!
I don't know if this is supported on all systems...
EDIT HERE::
I would put your OS on the small original disk and keep all other filesystems and data on the other large disk. This way if your OS dies you can just replace that one disk and reinstall without losing data.

quotacheck
quotacheck(1M) System Administration Commands quotacheck(1M)
NAME
quotacheck - ufs file system quota consistency checker
SYNOPSIS
quotacheck [-fp] [-v] filesystem...
quotacheck -a [-fpv]
DESCRIPTION
quotacheck examines each mounted ufs file system, builds a table of current disk usage, and compares this table against the information
stored in the file system's disk quota file. If any inconsistencies are detected, both the quota file and the current system copy of the
incorrect quotas are updated.
filesystem is either a file system mount point or the block device on which the file system resides.
quotacheck expects each file system to be checked to have a quota file named quotas in the root directory. If none is present, quotacheck
will not check the file system.
quotacheck accesses the character special device in calculating the actual disk usage for each user. Thus, the file systems that are
checked should be quiescent while quotacheck is running.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a Check the file systems which /etc/mnttab indicates are ufs file systems. These file systems must be read-write mounted with disk
quotas enabled, and have an rq entry in the mntopts field in /etc/vfstab.
-f Force check on file systems with logging enabled. Use in combination with the -p option.
-p Check quotas of file systems in parallel. For file systems with logging enabled, no check is performed unless the -f option is
also specified.
-v Indicate the calculated disk quotas for each user on a particular file system. quotacheck normally reports only those quotas modi-
fied.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of quotacheck when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
FILES
/etc/mnttab Mounted file systems
/etc/vfstab List of default parameters for each file system
