Yes of course...............

Right click My computer
Click Manage
Click Disk Management (near the bottom)

You should see all your connected storage devices there.

And from there you can partition/format etc..............

Ahhh yes, Disk Management - it's amazing how many people have never seen it (have never had cause/need to :^) but it's there...
It coordinates Windows Logical Volumes with the physical harddrives detected by Windows.
Always interesting to note that the Boot files are on the 'System' drive and the System files are on the 'Boot' drive, LoL
Don't ask me (ask Bill ;^)
