Click the Start button, select Help and Support and type in Format.
Everything you need to know is there.

If it is the hard drive with Windows OS, you will need either a third party boot disk with format capability,
i.a. a system disk from the hard drive manufacturer, or you can start a clean installation from a Windows Vista disk (not the big name PC manufacturers restore disk).
If it is not the hard drive with Windows OS on on it your can use Disk Management. Right-click on "Computer" and choose "manage" from the menu.
Then go to disk management.

How do you format the hard drive?
Answered in another newsgroup. Please do not send the same message
separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so
just fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup
doesn't get to see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for
those who read all the newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they
see the message multiple times instead of once (they would see it only
once if you correctly crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's
time, and gets you poorer help than you should get.
If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please
do so by crossposting -- sending a single message simultaneously to
multiple newsgroups (but only to a *few* related newsgroups).

If it is the OS drive, whichever OS you choose to clean install onto it will
have format capability.
If a second drive in the machine, right click on the drive icon and select
format.
