Exactly how are trying to format it? In general, what it contains, or
even whether it contains anything, doesn't matter.
 
Format it with the XP system disk.

Do not use this drive as drive zero, and attempt to format while within
windows, won't work.

boot using install cd and tell the install to format the hd.
