Default Disk Management - New Partition option Greyed Out

I want to use the Disk Managment utility to partition my second Hard Drive
on
my new Dell Dimension D4600 XP Home PC.

When I open up Disk Management and click on the Unallocated space of the
new Hard Drive (Disk 1 Unknown 149GB Not Initialized), I get a pull down
menu
with these 3 options:

New Partition...
Properties
Help

The first choice, New Partition is greyed out.

What do I need to do?

I am the Administrator by default. I have not setup any passwords.
WinXP Home boots up without asking for any password.
I am the only user on this computer.

Best regards,

Tapas
