okay so i got a second hand hard drive of my uncle and he says it works .. so i plugged it in and went on my disk management . it shows up but when i right click it and the other things around it it does not say format or partition , like it should do ? is there anything in the bios or start up i need to do ? ( oh and this is not my main drive i have a main one i just want to format this one ) thanks Doc ( im on windows 7 if you need to know)
