Right click on My Computer and click Manage and then Disk Management. It
will show you all the available drives, even the ones without a drive
letter. Right click the new drive and format. It should be easy from
there. Be sure you are formatting your new drive and not another. Look at
your available drives and then plug in the new drive and watch for it to
appear under disk managment.

Subject: Semi-OT: Hard Drive Format
Need help, please.
Remember that USB hard drive that I ordered? I will need to format it to
NTFS (I use Windows XP Home). Rummaging through Microsoft's Knowledge
Base, I am finding only instructions for formatting drives that are in the
computer, and only for formatting them to either FAT 16 or FAT 32.
Can someone send me a link to the correct instructions?
Thanks,
Joe
