so now I add it on e: and I can see my 1tb on e:

You would need to format the disk before you can use it for storage, since you have initialised it already, all you have to do is create a new simple volume by using the wizard (right click on the unallocated space and click create new simple volume).

ok im trying to do that and the volume options that appear are 953867 MB... should I continue ?
after I click continue I have options
assign the following driver letter I select D, cause E: its not there anymore
and second option is mount in the following empty NTFS folder (browse)
and third option do not assign a drive letter or drive path

**srry for my low knowledge onthis but this is my first pc build**

 

[LorenzoZamba]

anyone there that can help?? this is the options I get

You can remove the e: drive letter from the system partition but be super sure not to delete the partition - just the letter. This was created by windows install and contains critical startup files. You dont want to mess with or accidentally deleted anything in there so just un-assign it. You dont want it to have a drive letter.
Rt click the patition showing the E; drive letter and then select "Change Drive Letter and Paths".
Highlight E: and click "Remove"

Once E; Is free you can assign it to the new TB drive: New Simple volume, largest size you can make it, assign it any drive letter you wish
-do not check the "mount it in an ntfs folder" or "Do Not assign it any drive letter or path" options.
Next

Format with NTFS, default allocation size, Label it an name you wish (i keep it to 8 characters), check on/enable quick format
- Do not select the "Enable compression" option.
NEXT

Review your selections for accuracy
Click Finish

ok just one doubt, I did almost all.
on the last part check off quick format ?? I check off? so that means ill remove the check and leave both in blank correct? or you meant check on ?

 

[LorenzoZamba]

well I already check it off but its taking a lot of time .. its on 30% now, going very slow

 

[LorenzoZamba]

dang now I see his private msg saying it should be ON, anyone know if this is bad or its the same only taking more time?

As PM'd, its alright. Its taking longer because its not doing a full format and testing every sector on the drive.

I've editied my previous post to change the poor wording.

Sorry for the confusion.
