Format second HDD

How do I format a added HDD inside Windows XP Pro? Added second HDD to a guys computer. Can see it in Hardware Manager, but it's not formated, so I can't use it. Should format with Windows CD, or what?

It's not a RAID setup. It's a Master / Slave setup.

I'm still learning & having fun doing it!!!!!!

Thank You very much. Worked like a champ. I knew that I had done it in XP before, but forgot where. Haven't put in 2 HDD's in awhile since the HDD's have gotten so large. Fixed an an older machine for a guy.
