This may be of help...
Recently I installed a second HD that needed to be reformatted. On your desktop, Open up the
"My Computer". Then right click where it says
local disk. 2/3's of the way down...right click format. It will tell you to save any files that you want, because it will erase everything. Then continue with the prompts.
