Yes you do.
Boot off the start-up disk. Run fdisk. The first question that comes up is 'do you wish to use the entire capacity' or something of that nature. Say yes to use the full capacity (assuming you want the drive to be partitioned as 1 drive). (you will need to reboot). boot again off start-up disk. run format--making sure you are telling it to format the correct drive!!! as in "format d:" where d: is the new drive. |

Just remember if you pass the information along to call it "formatting" a drive. You call it partition and someone might think you want to split the drive up to make more than one drive.
