First check if your drive needs to be formatted by checking the current Format\File-System of the drive.<br>
Open "My Computer", right-click the external hard drive you want to use, then select "properties".<br>
Make note of the Drive Letter of the external hard drive as this will be important later.<br>
If the "File-System" is already NTFS, you can skip this step.<br>
<br>
If you have anything saved on the hard drive, you should back it up now as all the data will be lost once you format it.<br>

<br>
Right-click "My Computer" and select "Manage", a new window will open, on left panel click "Disk Management".<br>
Right-click the drive you want to format (make sure you select the right drive!), then select "Format..."<br>
Select "NTFS" as the File system to use and input a name for the Hard-Drive/Volume.<br>
You may optionally uncheck the "Perform a quick format" box, then click "OK", then click "OK" again.<br>
