Absolutely, as I understood it the objective was not to scrub, but merely to remove any visible existing data from the previous install, ie that there would be no old software/files visible. I would still reccommend strongly against doing the disk moves, the less handling a disk gets the better as far as I am concerned.
I would always use an alternate boot media ( CD/DVD/network ) in this situation and maintain custom recovery/wiping images with additional tools for this type of task, but could just as easily do it with the format command in the way suggested by Just Ice. I don't see any reason for transporting the disks to another system to do this.
