If you are using Windows, open My Computer, click on the drive you want to format (for example, a drive E, in which you have a USB Key plugged in) and then click File>Format.

I use a LiveCdrom of Linux, like http://pclinuxos.com and simply open the install icon...
or, get a copy of QTParted at http://livecdlist.com
Then a full format of a 500 Gb drive takes about 5 seconds.
Free download! And, it is very secure!

If it's a secondary drive then just right click on it in My Computer while logged into Windows and click format.
If it's your main drive you will need a boot disc. I would suggest using Super FDisk... get it here:
