Download and install the drive's install utility from its manufacturers website and use this utility to partition, format and install this new drive

have looked for something like this on hitachi web site but can find anything,

What is the drives model number?

Go here and download Seagates Dickwizard. I don't think there will be a problem with the Hitachi drive under Seagates utility. DiscWizard now uses Acronis software to manage and install IDE and SATA drives of all kinds:
