The HDDs in the Sky receivers do not have error checking in them. Do not use it for critical files. You should be able to connect it and just format it.
Disk Management will not work simply because the sky box (amstrad & Samsung) use a propitiatory OS that windows does not recognise. You have to use the windows/dos utility diskpart, list disk, delete volumes. This has to be run from the command prompt. for some Hdd that you rape from the sly boxes :)
