Hi, not sure were you are right now as you didn't say if the drive has a drive letter or not.
But go into Administrative tools/computer management/ disc management go here and assign a drive letter and or reformat the drive.
should be ok after this.

Goto, control panel, admin tools, disk management.

Do you see a Grey shaded area the same size as this HDD should be? right click the shaded area and assign it.

oh beaten.
