format for windows after linux 1

[greneday44]

I was messing around with Suse and mandrake on my extra hard drive, but just could not find modules new enough for my hardware, so now I wanna get that harddrive back to being my slave under windows, but its not even there now. What program/command can I use to format that hard drive back to fat or ntfs? I can't even find good old dos format D:

Start, run, CMD

diskpart

list disk

(I will assume you have two disks, but check the listing from this command to see that you are picking the right one. I am assuming Disk #1 is the Linux disk)

select disk 1
select partition 1
delete partition override noerr
create partition primary

exit
exit

You can use Disk Management to format the disk. Make sure you do an Action, rescan disks first.

Thanks a ton, I had to borrow my friends partion magic disk, but this will come in handy later on.
