Using the Storage Device

Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7
If you are using a brand new hard drive that does not contain any data,
then you will first need to prepare the hard drive for use. From the
main desktop, right-click on “My Computer” (“Computer” in Vista/7),
then select Manage. In the new Computer Management window, select
Disk Management from the left window panel.

Locate the Disk that says it is “Unallocated” (check hard drive capacity
to confirm it’s the correct hard drive) and then right-click in the section
that says “Unallocated” and select “New Partition”.
