Though this has nothing to do with linux, but anyway
You have to create partitions on your hdd and format them, from "Computer Management->Disk Management"

Any drive can be repartitioned and reformatted no matter on your other drives state. Don't doubt, you try it first
Be carefull not destroy data on your old drive.

Oh, excuse me... Your used termin "My Computer", and I suddenly though that you were talking about windows

Note, that generally, fdisk or cfdisk used to create partition, and mkreiserfs, mke2fs or other used to format partition. Be carefull with these tools
