If you are using the XP CD the installation will let you format the hard drive.
If you are only installing it as a slave format it under admin tools/computer
management/disk management.

If this new drive is now recognised in 'My Computer' and has a drive letter
assigned, you will need to install 3rd party partitioning application such as
Partition Magic 7 or 8.

how are you using the new hardrive ?
do you have an os installed on your machine and added this new drive or
only this drive is present in your machine ?

you can goto administrative tools from startmenu and then computer
management
over there goto diskmanagement and you can format your new drive
