If your hard drive is installed in a PC running Windows XP, you can go to Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Computer Management - Storage - Disk Management. You can then right click the volume or logical drive and select 'Delete Logical Drive'. Make sure you do not delete the System partition or (C:) drive - check under the heading Status if it says Healthy (System) because the Windows XP Professional is loaded from the System partition.

Once you have deleted the partition, you can then right click the empty space and select to create a new partition, set its size and assign a drive letter to it. Apply the changes and right click the new partition again and format it into NTFS format.
