you on xp or win7 if XP right click my computer then manage/ storage then disk management and make sure it is active in there.

Can you see if it in computer management?

i.e. right click computer icon on desktop > manage > storage > disk management. It should appear in the list. It may just be that you need to initialise it and give it a drive letter etc.
