How to initialize new HDD? Not found anywhere (as admin).
Vista 64 Home Premium.
Where is the tab/command to initialize (fdisk?) a new HDD? I am logged in as Administrator (system says so) with full control/permission. I can see the hard drives in the Device Manager/Disk Drives. All drives are "good" per the controller and I can see them as physical devices on the computer. They all show as "Not Initialized" when I ask each to populate the Volumes info, and there is no obvious/apparent way to do it. Nothing on the controller shows it either. Tried "Simple New Volume" under Disk Management-- doesn't/won't work because drive is not initialized.... One drive = one big partition = one drive letter. |
