Just connect the drive to the Mac via an enclosure, go to Disk Utilities and first erase the disk. I would use the write "zero" to this drive erase option being that this re-allocates bad blocks on the drive. Then Partition it to one partition and under the partition options choose GUID partition table. Under the "Partition Information" choose a name for the drive and format it as Mac OS Extended "Journaled" and you should be good to go.

why am i seeing people write spam on my questions
We have had serial spammers yesterday (more than 40) spamming all sorts of questions, We have been trying to remove the spam. Your question is good so I suspect you were one of the people they spammed. They do it because they are idiots.
