do you have access to another computer you can put the Hard drive in?

If you have access to another computer (with vista or w7, not sure about xp), you should be able to right click on computer, go to "manage", then window will open there will be there a "Disk management" under "storage" you can find the correct disk drive and hit "format"

just another way of doing it if its not working for ya.
