The drive may still be in a raw state and not formatted. Right click on "My Computer", select "Manage", select "Disk Management". Scroll through and you should see a drive that is Raw. Right click on the raw drive and create a simple volume. Once the drive is formatted then it will be assigned a drive letter and will show up under "My Computer".
