Default Initializing a new disk?

I have plugged in a 1TB HDD and Windows Explorer

In Disk Management it shows up as "Disk 3" and
unallocated.

No amount of right clicking will induce the
"Initialize Disk" wizard to appear.

Is there anything else to do?

Try it in Safe Mode (i.e. boot your machine to Windows Safe mode when
you start up by pressing F8 at the right moment before windows boots -
it takes a few tries). Worked for me in Safe mode after I had the same
prob you had in normal mode.
