Hello. I ordered the HD caddy and a 120gig HD for it. It plugs into the
usb port. my question is how do I format that HD that is connected to the
usb port? Thanks for help.

Firstly you need to initialize new disks.

Using Disk Management system utility [for managing hard disks and the
partitions or volumes that they contain] you can create volumes, and format
volumes with the FAT, FAT32, or NTFS file systems.

Disk Management enables you to perform most disk-related tasks without
shutting down your computer; most configuration changes take effect
immediately.
