I am pretty sure you can reformat a drive from within the windows installer if not you will have to put the hdd into another pc and wipe it clean I guess. 

So I spelt something wrong in my post... I don't care I don't read through what I write and I type very quickly.

assuming you do not need anything on it, yes. However I am not sure as I have little experience with this sort of thing.
