Hello. New to MPC, as well as this forum. I have been searching all over the place for info on how to format the new 1tb SSD drive that I installed in my MPC X SE. I can get the MPC into controller mode with my laptop running windows 11 but cannot find where my laptop acknowledges that the drive is there. I found a video that's very close, but it's a different version of windows. I'll post a link to the video. Thanks

While in controller mode, right click THIS PC.

You’ll see your raw drive there, raw meaning it was never formatted or partitioned.

The video you posted shows the drive because it was already formatted.
