leave it.

Linux uses its own formatting (eg: ext3). Therefore formatting it from windows will be a waste of time. (as windows only formats to FAT32 or NTFS).

Also, you will probably need more that one partition for linux, so you may end up deleting that partition and making 2-3 smaller ones in its place anyway.
