You mean format it? Is this harddrive currently in use and does it have any important data on it? If so, back that sh*t up.

 

The simple way to format it (completely wipe anything on it). My computer > Click on the Harddrive > Format

Did you miss the "/s" ??

 

Windows 7: Start/Right click my computer/Manage/Disk Management/Right Click the Drive/Delete Volume & or Format. Sometimes able to do this from My Computer too if that don't work you need to do it from Disk Management.
