Boot up windows from a different drive, go to 'my computer', right-click on external drive, select 'format'.

Just one of many ways.

So, your computer doesn't recognize it at all...even if you unplug the USB drive and plug it back in? Also, does your computer recognize the external drive after you reboot?

Run 'diskmgmt.msc' as Administrator, then format the uninitialized volume.
