Have you formatted it in Windows? Diskmanager is your friend, Run (windows-flag + r)-> diskmgmt.msc is the shortest way to get there in case you don't know how.

Try this: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows7/ss/format-hard-drive-windows-7-tutorial.htm. Caution: When I looked at the page, I had to refresh the page after clicking the "next page" button.

Microsoft's advice: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-format-hard-disk-partition#create-format-hard-disk-partition=windows-7

Hope those help.  :salute
