Type the name you want to use for the drive in the Volume Label text box.
You can use up to 20 characters.
Clear the Perform A Quick Format check box. This option speeds up the formatting
at the risk of missing bad sectors in the disk. This is a risk not worth
taking with your data.
Select the Enable File And Folder Compression check box if you want to compress
the contents of the drive. Compressing the contents slows down the
drive??™s performance a little but enables you to store more data on the drive.
Click the Next button to reach the Completing The New Simple Volume Wizard
screen, which summarizes the choices you have made.
Click the Finish button to close the wizard. The wizard creates the volume
you specified. Disk Management formats the drive.

Project 7: Replace Your Hard Disk??”or Add Another Hard Disk 77
When the formatting is complete, Disk Management opens a Windows Explorer
window showing the drive, so that you can begin using it.
Step 7: Turn Your Old Hard Disk into a Portable Disk
If you replaced your hard disk, and the reason you replaced it was because it was too
small rather than because it had begun to lose data, you??™ll probably want to reuse
it. If you have another PC with a smaller disk, one possibility is to use the disk you
removed to replace that PC??™s disk. But what??™s usually a better bet is to turn your old
hard disk into a portable disk.
