Your current drive (not the used one u have), does that have windows installed?
If so then boot from that, make your used one the slave.

then u should see that as a drive, perhaps D or E.

u can format it then reinstall windows on it (by shutting down your PC and making it into a master)


OR

if u can reinstall windows and tell it to format the disk when u install.

to be safe, u can remove the original hard disk so u dont lose anything on there
