If your hard drive is new and unformatted then you will need to format it using your operating system’s disk management system. More information and help regarding how to format a new hard drive can be found in your operating system’s help resources. If you know that there is previously saved data on your hard drive, make sure to check that the operating system on the computer can access and read the hard drive’s file system.
Be advised: You should never format a hard drive that contains data you want saved. Formatting erases all data on the drive. Consult a professional or computer expert in data recovery if you are unsure how to proceed.
