Well it depends what the drive letter is for the partition that you would like to format. If the drive letter for the partition you would like to format is drive letter F then you would type at a DOS prompt... format d: and this will format that drive letter. From within windows you can click on start, click run, and type in CMD, this will open your cmd prompt. Type in format X: (where x represents the drive letter of which ever partition you wish to format. and then hit enter, and then click yes when it asks if you wish to format.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Use the Disk Management in Administrative Tools. Click on the partition and select format.
