    Have you formatted the drive? If not, it won't show up for use. Does it show up under "My Computer", along with your primary drive and your DVD drive? If none of this works, right-click Computer>Manage>go to Disk Management>right-click on the new volume and format it. If it isn't showing up here, then something else may be amok.
