Gail,

Typically drives sold for internal use are not formatted.  You can partition
and format it in one of the Manager areas.  Control Panel -> Administrative
Tools -> Computer Management, then go to the Disk or Storage area.

Once you see the drive there, right click and make it one partition.  Then
right click and format it NTFS.
