    First, you have to create a partition on the drive and then format it. When you installed windows, you couldn't format the drive because it was deleted and never created again. Remember how you have to delete the partition, then create a partition and then format it when installing windows? I don't know exactly what to type in the command prompt but start with DISKPART /? and it will tell you all the commands you can do with diskpart or look on google for what to type in.
