Re-Format hard drives

[ventus808]

I have a CS-406e which I recently replaced the hard drives. There were 4 WD3200JS configured in RAID 5. I have tried to put one of these drives as an additional drice in a windows 7 computer. Whist the bios and device manager recognise the drive, explorer does not, hence I am unable to re-format the drive for use in the PC. Any advise on how to re-format or get explorer to recognise the drive would be most appreciated.

* WARNING EXPERT USE ONLY *
If you right click on "My Computer" select "Manage" then "Storage" - "Disk Management" you should see your drive listed without a drive letter assigned to it, it will probably have a "Raw" or "Unknown" file system since Windows can't interpret the partition information. Make sure the drive recognised as the correct size.
PROCEEDING WITH EXTREME CARE so you dont loose any data from your other drives/partitions!!!
Right click on the drive and "Delete Partition", now you can create one or more partitions and once you format those partitions Windows will automatically assign drive letters to those partitions.
Hope this is the information you needed. Mentioning the version of Wondows you use would help to give a more precise answer as the menu wording varies between XP Vista and 7.
