Delete/Format EISA Partition of External Hard Drive

I just want to format a whole hard drive which as an EISA partition on it.  I want to use the drive as an external backup.  It is currently hooked to my main computer via USB.  I have tried to use Acronis Disk Management to delete/format the whole hard drive, but I can not get rid of the EISA partition.

Thanks.

No, I do not have Symantec Ghost.  I have been thinking about getting it.

I have attached a screen capture of the Disk Management console.  The external drive is Disk 1.

Thanks.

Thanks for your input.  I ended up using Acronis Disk Management to delete the partition.
