    Assuming that the drive was installed correctly and the drive is operational, try going to Disk Management. It should display Disk 0 and Disk 1. Disk 1 is the new drive. You will need to format it and assign a drive letter to it. You can do this by right clicking on it and selecting format. It should be formatted as NTFS. Hopefully that works for you.
