Add new disk - What exactly does this accomplish?

Thread needs solution

Am I missing something? I have a new Seagate 2TB external hard drive. I used the “add new disk” feature to initialize it, it returns with it wholly unallocated. I used disk management to prepare the disk instead. Then, thought I’ll try the nifty Acronis feature again. It does warn me that my newly formatted NTFS disk will be rendered Unallocated. Why would I want this disk to be Unallocated?

The Add New Disk feature offers the ability to create a clean disk with no format or partition information on such disk. This is desired when performing a full disk recovery so that an identical disk can be created from a full disk backup file.
