My PC won't recognize my external hard drive HALP

So I bought a 500 gb ionmega external hard drive. When I bought it I did a full backup of my Macbook and all of its contents.
Fast forward a coupla months and one ironically hilarious Top Ramen incident later, and my Macbook is now dead and gone.
I bought a PC Tower (running Vista) to replace it, hooked up my hard drive, and my PC will not recognize it. It doesn't list it at all in My Computer, I can't use it as a storage device...nothing. I assume it's because it was formatted for Macs, so how can I reformat my harddrive?
Also, if anyone knows how to get the data off my hard drive (contains like 40 gigs of music on it, I'd like that stuff back) I'd love you forever.

Rent on
