To answer your question directly, I believe that PM will format
for you, but if it doesn't, the easiest thing to do is grab any
one of the CD-based Linux distro boot disks (for this purpose,
Knoppix might be best, but you can use Fedora, Ubuntu, you
name it). Burn the boot CD, boot from it, and then use it to
format your drive.
I wish the NTFS drivers in Linux were a little more reliable, as
anyone who wants to share a drive these days really has to
compromise significantly.
