To do this, right click on My Computer, click Manage, click Disk
Management, right click on the new drive, create a partition, and format
it (NTFS is suggested).

Well that makes it interesting. You can try a boot disk from
www.bootdisk.com to partition/format it, but I would suggest whatever
software came with the drive such as MaxBlast, etc. There is also this
Bootable CD that has all HD Software Programs for each HD Manufacturer:
