Using XP? If so then use the Disk Management tool under Computer management
under Administrative Tools in Control Panels. Delete both partitions, create
a new partition and format it.

I assume there is no data on the drive before you do that, though, or
at least you back it up somewhere else.

You must first put it back in the computer then use the Disk Management tool
under Computer management under Administrative Tools in Control Panels.
Delete both partitions then create a new partition and format it.
