Windows does not allow you to label an unallocated space. You must create a partition and format first if you want to make use of this space.

What is the difference between unallocated and free space in Windows Vista?

In Windows Vista, unallocated space refers to disk space that has not been assigned to any partition or volume, while free space is the available space within an existing partition that can be used for data storage. Unallocated space cannot be used until it is formatted and assigned to a partition, whereas free space can be immediately utilized for file storage or for creating new files within an existing partition. Essentially, unallocated space is "unused" space that needs to be set up, while free space is "available" space within a partition.
