to format drive d you need to double click on "computer" thats on your desktop (if its not there, then click the start button and you should see it on the right hand side) once thats opened you should see a window that shows a list of your drives (drive c, drive d, dvd and so on) right click on drive d and a menu will appear, about half way down you will see "format", click on that and the windows format utility will come up, the first drop down tells you the size of your drive, the second is file system, this needs to be ntfs,
allocation needs to be default, label can be what ever you want to call it. uncheck quick format (no tick), make bootable dos needs to be unchecked too (no tick). click start.
WARNING! everything that is on drive d will be deleted so if there is anything on there that you want to keep, transfer it to drive c before you format.
hope this helps.
