A windows computer (XP and after) will be able to store data on a partition if the partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, but will not use that partition as the default one unless you install an operating system and boot off of that partition. To format the partition for use like I described for the first answer, click the start button on the bottom left corner of the screen, then right click on "My Computer" or "Computer" and select "manage." Click the "Storage" tab on the left side of the window that opens, and select "Disk Management." Locate the correct partition right click it, select "format" and follow the wizard that opens up.
