You may be able to do it by starting an instance of the file manager
with Alt+F2 to bring up the run dialog, then run "sudo nautilus
--no-desktop".

Or use Alt+F2 or a terminal and run "sudo mkfs.ext3 -L <name>". Read the
man page, either with "man mkfs.ext3" in a terminal or via menu System|
Help and Support|Adanced Topics. This is assuming that you have an ext3
filesystem on the disk. If not, try the section SEE AlSO in "man mkfs"
