I added new hard drive in my system.
It seems to be working correctly, BIOS detects it, but....
How do I format it and take it in to use?

Hi,

Right click your My Computer, and then choose Manage.
Then click on Disk Management
You'll then see all your drives
Right click the one you want to format and follow the steps in the wizard.

right click on "My computer"
click "Manage"
click "+" next to "Storage" to expand
click on "disk management"

in the bottom right pane, your HD should be shown
right click in the white, click "format"
