Format an external HD

I want to save some files on a maxtor external HD but the HD is currently set up for a mac and can’t work with osx and windows at the same time so I need to format it. I can’t access a mac right now so I have to format it from my pc. Does anybody know how I might do that?

Also, I’ve already tried maxtor’s customer support and got no help.

Help appreciated.

EDIT: I was able to suffer through customer support and get my problem resolved.

garthbartin, please use Google next time instead of making unnecessary threads, thanks.

I already googled and didn’t get anything that would help. The eventual solution I got from tech support was completely different from anything I found on google.
