Is this a second hard drive that you've added to your system
for storage?
If that's the case then take a look here,

Bottom line is that you need to go into Disk Management and
partition and format your new drive. You can access Disk
Management through Start -> Run -> diskmgmt.msc -> Click OK.

Here's another article you may find helpful,

Post back if you have any questions.

Good luck
