When you originally said 'cleaned' it, did you format it?

It's showing that at present it needs to be partitioned and formatted.....
which you can do by following the article at
http://www.webtechgeek.com/How-to-Partition-a-Hard-Drive-Windows-XP.htm
(scroll down a bit to see the article in detail)

Just a reminder, partitioning and formatting a drive will remove ALL the
data from it.
