Using the Storage Device

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".

The New Partition Wizard will appear. Follow the instructions in the wizard to complete

setting up the drive. Once complete, the Disk should show up as "Healthy" with a drive

letter assigned (i.e. E:). This drive letter should now appear within My Computer.

If you are installing a hard drive that already has data on it, then after plugging it in, the

drive should automatically show up with a drive letter assigned within My Computer.
