    You can try formating in the machine. Do the SP 5-832-1 (this will format all)
    If doesnt work you have to try in your computer but for that, you need to have an adapter to plug it.
    After you plug it just format like a normal hard drive.

      Make sure that the HDD you are putting in has the same power requirements as the factory HDD. If not you will have issues. Ricoh is very stingy with POWER and there have been many reports of too large a HDD drawing too much power from the PSU and causing all sorts of weird issues.
