    New internal HD, Disk Management says 'unallocated'. No letter.


    Just installed new HD, DM says it's 'unallocated'. What to do?


    It seems my options when I right click anywhere on the disk are:
    A Convert to Dynamic Disk
    B) Convert to GPT disk
    C) New Simple Volume...
    D) Other...and how?


    Also...it doesn't have a Letter.
    =[

    Thanks!
