If you just added a hard drive, firstly, I assume you have set the jumper to
the slave position. Then once installed, your BIOS should recognize it. If
BIOS has properly recognized your D: drive, simply open your control panel,
right click on D: drive and select "format". It's that simple, and you
should have no problems.

Good luck
