Been upgrading 10 + pcs to ssds , nice , simple and cheap upgrade

I've been left with two WD Green drives that can be listed in Windows storage manager, but I can't format them. It simply hangs for 20 minutes then I get an error dialogue box !

Any recommendations on any apps that can help clear the errors or help me format them ?
Cheers

Get UBCD, boot into that and try one of their apps for formatting. Removes the windows element of it all.
