Using My Book 4TB with XP to upgrade to Win 7?

Can someone tell me how to partition a WD My Book 4Tb for 2Tb so I can use it to transfer computer data to external drive install Win 7 over an XP operating system?
The My Book 4Tb shows in Device Manager but not in Disk Management.

Hello,

have you tried formatting it as GPT?
