I am assuming you have 2000 or XP. Go to control panel-->Admin Tools --> Computer Management
Under there select disk management.
You should be able to partition and format the drive using this tool. Don't bother with fdisk. I'm looking this up on XP Pro, but you should have the disk management in a similar place on 2000.
