How do I format a password protected hard drive?

I have several hard drives from old computers that were running Novell password protected versions of Win 2K. When I slave any one of them to my newer computer the BIOS detects it but it won't show up in My Computer. I don't know how to format them because all the tutorials I've read say that I need to enter "format [drive name]" in DOS. Since it won't show up in Windows I don't know the drive name. Is there another way to find the drive name or a different way to format them?
