You need to prepare your system for formatting the HDD. After disabling Windows, you should boot into a recovery environment and follow the steps to format the drive using the appropriate tools.

Use the installation CD/USB stick, navigate through the menu until you reach the formatting option, select it, format the drive, and then cancel.

You can move the HDD to another machine and it will appear as a new drive. From there, you may need to open the drive manager to remove the system partition created during installation.
