really dumb question here... but has the drive been formatted? If it is a new, unformatted drive you will need to go settings -> control panel -> Admin tools -> computer management. then click on "disk management" in the lower left. You should see your new drive in the right lower box (you may have to scroll down, this shows all drives attached to the computer). Right click on the drive, hit "create primary partition" then after that right click again and hit "format". This will take a long time if it's a big drive.

If it is all-ready formated completly ignore what I just said. Other will have to help you then...

Good luck!
