Default How do I format a drive with Linux on it?

I installed Kubuntu 8.10 on its own drive. I have one drive with Windows and the other has Kubuntu. Before I installed Kubuntu on that second drive, windows recognized the drive in my computer, but now that I installed Linux on it, it isn't recognized anymore. Is there a way to format that drive from Linux because I want to try to install it all over again and start from scratch.

Put it back into the Windows machine then in disk manager re-partition it, then format in NTFS.
