USING A BRAND NEW DISK
If you are using a brand new disk, you might have to
initialize it before you can use it.
NOTE:
Only initialize a disk if you are absolutely sure it is a
brand new disk and it does not have any of your data on it.
The initializing process destroys all previous data and
renders it irretrievable
.
TO INITIALIZE NEW DISKS
1. Open Disk Management with administrator permissions.
To do so, in the search box on the taskbar, type
Disk
Management
, select and hold (or right-click)
Disk
Management
, then select
Run as administrator
>
Yes
.
If you can't open it as an administrator, type
Computer
Management
instead, and then go to
Storage
>
Disk
Management
.
2. In Disk Management, right-click the disk you want to
initialize, and then click
Initialize Disk
(shown next). If the
disk is listed as Offline, first right-click it and select
Online
.
