You have to really program it, for the frequencies in your area, doing it by hand is a mess.

You need a programming cable and then you can program it through the computer look for CHIRP it is free.

Be careful downloading various programs because they have malware and other unwanted things in them too. I downloaded a file direct from TYT a couple of years ago and had to replace the hard drive. A virus wiped out the fat sectors of the hard drive and could not be formatted. Totally wasted an IDE drive which are in short supply. Now the computer is just a door stop.

Did you try fdisk?
 
Chirp is a well known and trusted program. Buy a cable off Amazon for cheap, and follow the instructions on how to program it via the Miklor site. It's pretty easy once you get the driver set up for the cable.
