Selesai.......Saya menggunakan OS Windows 7 

Windows 7Windows 7 includes a built in utility known as Disk Management that can be used to format a hard drive. To format the drive with Disk Management, follow these steps:

1. Click on Start and right-click Computer.

2. Click on Manage.

3. You will get a window called Computer Management with two panes. On the left pane under Storage, click on Disk Management. This will load the right pane. You may need to maximize the windows to see all your drives.

4. In the lower right pane, you should see a list of all available drives/devices. Find the drive listing that corresponds to the one that you want to partition and format. It typically has a black bar indicating unallocated space. Important: You may need to initialize the drive. If so, please see Answer ID 1018: How to initialize or write a signature to a hard drive or Solid State drive in Windows (7, Vista, XP, 2000).

If there is a blue bar, then the drive has already been partitioned and formatted. Make sure, that if you have data on the drive, you back it up before proceeding. Once you are ready to proceed, right-click on the blue bar and choose Delete Volume. You will get a pop-up window

asking you if you really want to delete the partition. Click Yes. The bar should now be black.

5. Right-click on the black bar to see a menu of available options. Left-click on New Simple Volume.

6. The Welcome to the New Simple Volume Wizard will appear. Left-click on Next to proceed to the next screen.

7. This is where you can set a partition on the drive. By default Windows chooses the whole drive so you can left-click on Next.Note: For creating multiple partitions on a drive, you will have to type in a smaller amount in megabytes, and it will partition and format only that amount. For example, if you have a 2 TB hard drive and you want to split the drive into two partitions, you could type in 1000.000 (for 1 TB) in the Simple volume size in MB area.Once you finish formatting this first partition, you will need to go back and follow these steps again to partition and format the left-over unallocated area of the drive. Then you will have your two partitions. Remember, going back to change, or add, partitions will destroy any data on the drive. So be sure to plan out ahead how many and what size partitions you want before creating any.

8. Choose the drive letter that you want the drive to have. By default Windows will choose the next available drive letter. Then click on Next.

9. This is the format screen. Make sure that the File System is set to NTFS. The Allocation Unit Size should be left at its default value. In the Volume Label field you can give the drive a name if you want. Check the box that says Perform a Quick Format so that Windows will format the drive quickly. Then click on Next.

10. The next screen gives you a confirmation of all the steps that you just went through. Click on Next.

Note: If you receive an error message stating that Windows is unable to unmount your drive this means that there is a program or service currently reading or writing data on the drive. You will need to determine what program is accessing the drive and shut it down before you can format the drive. Please see Answer ID 274: In Windows XP, Vista, or 7 an error occurs stating a drive can not be stopped when safely removing for assistance with this error under Windows.

11. The listing for the drive (Disk 1 in the picture below) will say Formatting as it formats the drive.

12. When the drive is done (Disk 1 in the picture below) the bar will be blue and the drive will say Healthy.
