how to select a brand new drive as "target"?

I was doing a lot of research and I found this statement in a previous thread:  "The BIG NO NO is copying to a partition with a drive letter."  From my experience last night with Ghost this is a catch-22.  I went into "copy drive" but when selecting target drive my new hard drive didn't show up until I gave it a drive letter.  So you can't copy with a drive letter and you can't copy without a drive letter.  How are you supposed to do it?
