I have 2 500 Gb hard drives that were configured in a raid array, I switched to SSD's and tried to use a drive in a win 8 computer.  The drive will not format, I tried to share the drive but the computer will not let me do that because it can not read the drive. 
Any work way to format this drive?

Big Thank you again.  Only took a few minutes once I found it. Formatted it and wrote on it.

 I just ran into this problem again, I have one of the 500 Gb drives not used and formatted that I put into the computer and it did not show up in Explorer, I tried formatting it in computer management, it came out as a master boot and  still did not show up in Explorer.  I just tried computer management again, I made a simple volume and this time assigned a drive letter to it labeling it storage.  It is now visible and available for storage.
