If you ever want to have more than one partition, then during the wizard, just make sure to specify a partition size less than the total size of the disk, and then after that partition is created you'll still have a block of Unallocated space, in which case repeat that wizard as necessary to create additional partitions. (Kingston has since stopped selling this product, but it was actually made by and is still. After the disk is initialized, it should show as it does in your screenshot, namely as a Basic, Online disk, and then you just do what I mentioned at the beginning of this post. UNNING OUT of disk space is a bummer, especially on a laptop. The latter is a BIT better if you don't have to worry about the disk being readable on Windows XP, but it's not a huge deal. If the disk is less than 2TB, you'll probably have a choice between MBR and GPT.
You'd first right-click that and choose "Initialize Disk". For future reference if you want to use Disk Management, if the disk is completely uninitialized, as new internal disks out of the box are (same with disks that have had the "clean" command I mentioned above run against them), it will be noted as Not Ininitialized in the little gray info tile just to the left of that "Unallocated" box.
At that point in Disk Management, you would have had to right-click the "Unallocated" block in the lower area of Disk Management and clicked New Simple Volume, then stepped through the wizard. Chris happy to help, and glad you're sorted! I can now see the screenshot you posted.
