There are many reviews on Newegg about this drive being flaky or having it stop working after a short period. You should not have to do anything to the drive outside of plugging it in. Windows should see the drive and mount it as a removable disk. I would suggest taking it back and getting either a new drive, or better yet, a different drive (as per the Newegg suggestions that this is a poorly designed hard drive).
