What model is the drive pls? Does the drive have jumper pins and if so how is it configured? Do you get any type of error message, what happens when you try to format it (NTF I assume)?

If this is a new drive and has never been used, you must initialize it in disk management first, otherwise if there is nothing on the drive, have you tried removing all partitions then creating new partitions before formatting?
