You need to format the drive before you can use it for data.
First partition - do a primary partition if you want only one partition on the hard drive. Then you format the partition - again right click and select format use NTFS - use default allocation size and give the new volume a label (no spaces allowed in the name).
- Do this : Windows+R, then
diskmgmt.msc
- A new window titled Computer Management comes up.
- Select Storage from the left hand side by clicking it once, then select Disk Management(local) from the right side by double-clicking it. Find your new drive and format it with one large partition.
