To figure out the device it is on:
su fdisk -l
then there should be a disk (with no partition table) that shows up most likely /dev/sda
once you determine the correct device
fdisk /dev/sda
for just 1 big partition
n = new partition p = primary 1 = partition 1 t = set type l = list types, 83 = linux, 7 = fat32 w = write partition table
then for fat32
mkfs.msdos -F32 /dev/sda1
or linux
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
Note there is a lot of different options you could pick, and many different ways to partition / format
