First find the name of the device (It may be one of /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc etc)
#su
#/sbin/mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
OR
if your disk is too corrupt
#su
#parted /dev/sdb
>p
>help
Make a new msdos partition table
Then make partitions and filesystems within that
You can use gparted or qtparted or fdisk or partedmagic CD too
