Reconnect it and just rt click on the drive icon and select format.
You could also download a program like Eraser. http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/ "Cyborwanderer" wrote in message ...

If the data is personal and needs to be really wiped get
Eraser, it will run from a floppy and it over writes the whole disk several times with random 1 and 0, it would take the resources of the CIA and FBI to recover the data, such as your bank records and credit cards. If you set the program to do several passes, it will probably run all night. You can install it on the hard drive and use it to clean files, but be very careful, select the wrong drive or partition and you'll be hoping that your back-ups work.
