DriveCleanser - How to format after using?

Thread needs solution

I am using the latest build of True Image Home build 6857 with a Windows 7 64 bit computer. I used DriveCleanser to delete all the data on an external drive that I am going to sell. THat worked fine but how do I format the disk so I can use it?
THanks!

SanC,

If the drive is still connected to the computer, and since it is NOT a system drive, just boot with Windows, then in the orb search box type: Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions, or simply Disk Management.
You will see a picture of your disks and you should see your unformatted disk. You can right click on it to initialize the disk, and then, again right click on the unallocated space, to create any partition(s) you want on it, and format the partitions.

Thanks for your help. It asked first if I wanted to create a simple volume and then it allowed me format. I could see that the space on the drive was unallocated but I could not get a drive letter to format it. Working great!!
