Ha solved.
Needed to format etc. 0 -
Right click on "My Computer" and select "Disk Management".
The new drive will probably show as New Volume - probably as Disk 1 (Disk 0 will probably be your home "C" Drive) and it will need to be formatted and a partition(s) set up on it.
You can follow the latter parts of the following guide HereMy very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016).
For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com0
