Question Data Error (Cyclic Redundancy Check)

[andrewdalusong]

Hey, so I recently was trying to install a new hard drive onto my computer. When I go into Disk Management to Initialize the disk it gives me the error of Cyclic Redundancy Check. I have tried and Googled on how to fix it but all the solutions assume you have already had the disk initialized. For example, I see they tell you to go into Command Prompt and chkdsk /f x, x being whatever disk it is. But because I haven't initialized it there is no letter for the disk. Any help to initialize this disk would be great thanks.

Won't be able to try this solution until tomorrow if not the day after. Busy studying for finals. But will keep you updated!
