New Simple Volume Wizard
Simple volume size Specify the same value as the maximum disk space
Assign the following drive letter D
File system NTFS
Allocation unit size Default

The above settings can also be configured by running the following command in PowerShell for administrators.

  • Set the variable to the number of the disk corresponding to the attached Block Volume (Boot Volume corresponds to the C drive, and the number is 0. In this example this is the first Block Volume attached, so specify 1).
    PS > $diskNumber = 1
    
  • Bring the disk online
    PS > Set-Disk $diskNumber -isOffline $false
    
  • Initialize the disk
    PS > Initialize-Disk -Number $diskNumber -PartitionStyle "GPT"
    
  • Create a partition
    PS > New-Partition -DiskNumber $diskNumber -UseMaximumSize -DriveLetter "D"
    
  • Format
    PS > Format-Volume -DriveLetter "D" -FileSystem "NTFS" -NewFileSystemLabel "New Volume" -Force
