Right click windows icon, and click disk managment. Right Click on the Hard drive that has unallocated space and select new simple volume. Keep hitting next until you get to format Partition. Make sure format is NTFS and name the volume what ever you want and then click ok and you will be good to go!

 

Here is an example:

 

 Step 1: Right click windows icon and select disk management

Step 2: Select Unallocated Space on one of your drives. May also be called free space. Right click the unallocated/free space and select new simple volume

Step 3: Click hitting next until you get to the menu below. Enter volume name and drive letter and click next. Make sure its in NTFS format as below
