    If you unplug/re-plug this drive, do you get a window that says the drive needs to be initialized? IF so go ahead and do it. Then in Disk management highlight tit and click Actions/All actions from the top menu and you will see options to do.

    Hi, fluidmotion the 931GB Partition in Disk Management is the USB External Hard Drive, Right click on Disk 1 and select Create New Partiton or assign it a Drive Letter.

    You might get prompted to Initialize as one of the options when you right-click, but it will be very straightforward.
