Go on start and type ( Create and format hard disk partions ) your Second hdd for your game and stuff should be there as " unallocated" the just click on it and select format and go with default options.

Go to Start>Run>diskmgmt.msc>Enter. This will bring up the Disk Management Console. There will be some boxes on the lower right with stripes at the top. Find the box for your new HDD and right click on it. Select "New Simple Volume" and follow the steps in the wizard that comes up to partition, format and assign a drive letter to your HDD.
