I presume its not appearing in Windows Explorer?
Have you tried checking out the Device Manager. Any new and connected devices ought to show in there.

USBView from Microsoft will show all devices that are plugged into USB sockets.
It won't display the device by name but it's useful to see if Windows is actually detecting the device. You don't need to have loaded a driver for the device for it to work.

Paste this into Notepad and save it as a .bat file.
Run the file and when device manager pops up choose show hidden device from view. The disk drives tab should now list every drive that's ever been connected.
