Use some cleaning alcohol such as Metholated Spirits. Nail polish remover does good work too. Just dab a little onto a cotton ball or a special cleaning cloth and rub gently untill the glue residue comes off.

Haven't got a hard drive yet but I suggest getting a clean cloth and some WD40 to remove any sticky that's left over.

Works wonders.

Edit: Beaten to it *shakes fist at Dom*...either way is good!

Aftershave is a really good cleaner if used sparingly and on a lint free cloth as you don't want anything that leaves fibres.
