If you have the original system restore disk that came with your computer, you can run it and it will erase everything on your hard drive. If you have a Windows Operating System disk you can use that. If you have another Operating system you can use the fdisk command in DOS. If you choose to use the fdisk command I suggest searching it on a web search engine and you will find instructions on how to set up a partition.
