So somehow I don't know what your problem is. . .
Yeah, in Windows a drive will have a letter if a volume is present, even if it's not partitioned and/or formatted. If you try to double-click on a drive letter that has no partition or has not been formatted Windows will pop up a screen telling you this and offer to format the drive for you.
I suppose it was the simplest solution for Microsoft to come up with for the wildly non-technical crowd that makes up most of the Windows user base. And hence, this is one of the reasons most Windows are so inept and clueless when it comes to drive and partition management. Microsoft has dumbed down the process to the point of stupidity. But, that's exactly what they want, clueless Windows users, has been all along. Sorry, got on a bit of a rant there. It's this and MANY more reasons why I tell people that Microsoft has set computing back 30+ years. Don't even get me started on not including a programming language with the OS. Another way to dumb down users.
