The easy way. put the new hard drive into your pc in place of your current
hard drive. Use a standard boot disk to create a partition and then format
the drive. Replace your original drive and put new drive back into caddy.
Some of these specifically require a setting of 'master' as opposed to cable
select which is more relative to IDE controllers not USB
Once connected you can use XP to reformat to NTFS
