    formatting a drive removes all contents of the drive, there would not still be any files or folders if you really formatted it.
    Pop a DOS boot disk in, when it boots to the command prompt, type:
    format c: /q (assuming c is the drive letter you want to format)

    this will format the drive to fat32, if you install w2k or xp you can reformat the drive as ntfs or convert it later, either way, everything will be gone.
