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.
