DROBO HDD Re-formating after use

I use a DROBO raid systems for file back up. HDD's with larger capacity can be installed to increase the overall capacity of the DROBO unit. The removed HDD's have been formatted by the DROBO system to an unrecognizable format by a PC. I put the removed HDD's into a docking unit with the intent of reformatting them to a standard format. As noted the PC, WIN 7 does not 'see' the drive. I have put other (non Drobo) HDD's into the same docking station and their file structure is recognized.

Calling Drobo support provided no help!!!
Any ideas???
