Can’t format D on New Drive D: = RAM dr.

I have installed a new 30.7 GB hard disk and partitioned it into two drives: C: = 20GB, D: = 9333MB I have formatted C: and was able to install Windows with no problem. However, I cannot format D:. The computer sees it as the (DOS)RAM drive. How can I fix this? Thank you in advance!
