    My notebook harddrive got pretty messed up that kept giving me BSOD during windows installation. So I took it out and hook it up to an external hard drive casing and connected it to another computer. My question is that what are the steps I need to do in order to reformat it to the condition that I first got it new so I can put in a new copy of windows?
