If you are using Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 you can go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management and find the Disk Management icon on the left side. It will show the partitions for all disks connected to your computer. You can delete/create/format partitions by clicking on them. Just be careful to format the right one!

Often Disk Manager is more effective for formatting than the explorer interface.
