format c:/\nYou can also format the drive by just putting the xp disk into the drive and restarting the computer, when it asks which drive to install it too look at your options.  Delete the partition and create a new one.  Through the process you will format your drive.

As long as the hard drive is plugged in and it shows up in your computer's BIOS (and is given a drive letter) then it doesn't matter where it is... or what enclosure it's contained in.\n\nIf you're using Windows, you should be able to right click on that drive and choose "Format".

1-Format it,so it will be formated,2-Format it again,so it will be reformated.\n\nAbout deleting the hard drive...that's a pretty hard question.My knowledge is bad on physics.\n\nI sugest to get some lessons for begginers,or to call a technician so he could guess what you want to say.

If you are using it on another computer of your own, just plug it in as a slave drive and then if using Win XP, just go to My Computer and right click on the drive. Then select format and it will wipe it clean for you. \n\nIf you are just going to install windows on it then just format at windows setup.\n\nIf you are not going to be the user of this computer and want to protect your privacy use a tool from http://www.download.com to do a deep format - one in which data cannot be recovered.\n\nGood Luck
