drives, your new External Drive will be identified as “Disk 3”.
Failure to follow this step will result in the loss of all data on
your primary internal hard disk.
6. In the steps that follow, you must specify if you want to
create one partition equal to the maximum capacity of
your external disk drive, or if you want to create
multiple partitions.

and restart Windows. Any new drives created through the
disk partition procedure must now be formatted using the
