Go to 'My Computer' right click on the desired drive and click 'Format' then check the 'Quick format' box and start. That's it.

If you are using an external drive, then the drive does not hold your operating system. you can simply open up my computers and you should find the drive there. Right click on the drive lettter and select delete. That will erase the drive. you can then select to reformat the drive therein.
