Most of the times, you need to format the drive before you can use it for data. You may follow the steps below:
1) Right-Click on the My Computer icon either on your desktop or in the Start Menu and select Manage.
A new window titled Computer Management comes up.
2) 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.
3) For First partition -make a primary partition if you want only one partition on the hard drive.
4) Then you format the partition - again right click and select format use NTSF - use default allocation size and give the new volume a label (no spaces allowed in the name).
Hope it helps
