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”.
