Boot up windows with the windows disc in the drive and it will come up with a menu with selectable options. Edit : Sorry, I got mixed up, I was answeing a thread about PS2 harddrives, got mixed up lol.

oh aight i got chu, i done dat b4... but c i also got another computer myself datz down but wut happen is dat when i try doin that an error comes up durin the process of formating... therefore i cant use tha computer.. i actually got 3 HDDs right now... one on this computer n two that came from two computers that messed up.. i formated one of them n tried puttin windows but even after it was formated it still aint work...daz y im confused.. i mean when i have a computer n it messes up, cant i jus go to the store n get me a new HDD n then itll be like new again after installin windows?.. cuz in that case ill be better off buyin me a HDD rather than buyin the computer..
