Hook it up to a computer, boot the computer from a (bootable) floppy disc (check that it has format.com in addition to the system files). Once booted, run the following:
format n:where n is the drive reference (it will not be c, but it will probably be d:).
Reboot into windows.

I would fdisk it and build a new partition, go to Microsofts site for details
