Hello everyone,

I have a spare Seagate 320g hdd in my system and I would like to use it as a dvr for my tv tuner. It is formatted and shows up in Device Manager, but it doesn't show up in Disk Management. I have nothing installed on it. My primary drive is 225g ssd that runs my OS and other programs.

So, what do I need to do to use this drive? Do I need to install Windows on this drive or some other software? I don't want to dual boot. My OS is Win7 Ultimate. Thanks in advance, Bruce
