I have plugged in a 1TB HDD and Windows Explorer

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

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

Is there anything else to do?

"Initializing". Now there's a word I haven't heard in about thirty years, from
back in the days when I was servicing IBM 3330 Mod 2 disk packs. Huge twenty
five pound stacks of aircraft aluminum mylar covered disks that went into a
drive the size of a washing machine, and they held all of 200Mb! Wow, those were
the days!
