You can also just launch Command Prompt and do format E: for example.

heck to format a external drive just right click it and click format .....on windows anyways

Yep, that's what the tutorial is

I remember when i was a noob and couldn't figure out how to do it

For linux you can use GEDIT for gnome or fdisk. I personally like fdisk as I tend to stay away from GUI's.

I used fdisk when installing Backtrack 3 to harddrive. Also used qtparted and gparted.

Well if you use U3 drives and format it using windows then it will not launch U3 unless it restores it self.

I heard about U3, i just encrypt mine under linux.
