OK so the 2nd drive is which one now?
The lettering is making this harder to figure out.

OK then Right Click on the E drive
In the little window that comes up click on Delete Partition
Accept any prompts that may come up.
When done Right Click on it again and this time Setup Partition and use the whole capacity of the space.
Once the partition has been setup then Right Click again and now click on Format and make sure to use NTFS as your File System.
Once this is done then your hard drive should now be ready for use.
Let me know if you need more help or instructions. I will await your results and good luck.
