Hello fmv503 and welcome to our forums

Assuming you are running windows XP:
With your system powered off, connect and power up the external drive then start you system.
Go to Start > Control panel > Administrative tools > Computer management >
Now on the left side select Disk management on the right side right click your external drive and select create primary partition.
Once that has finished right click your external drive and select format.
Once that has finished right click your external drive and select make partition active.
