Solution Phillip Corcoran May 5, 2014 It may just need a drive letter assigning to it, in which case it should be shown in Disk Management. Without a drive letter Windows Explorer cannot show it. See this guide on how to add a drive letter to it: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/change-add-remove-drive-letter#1TC=windows-7 In Disk Management the drive, if it shows up there at all, will have no name or drive letter and will have "Raw" as it's volume description.
