The status of the newly created partition in the Disk Management window should change to Formatting and the percentage
complete will be displayed. Depending upon the size of the partition, the format process may take several minutes. When
complete, the status will change to “Healthy” and the name and drive letter will be updated. Once the disk reports Healthy, it
appears in the listing in System Listing section with all of its pertinent information as well.
Repeat the above procedure as needed for any other partitions. Close the Data Management window by clicking on the
small boxed “X” in the top right corner of the window. Click on the “My Computer” icon on the Desktop. The new drives will
be visible and properly named. The new disks are available for use.
