Do you see the disk in Disk manager ?

No? Assuming you're correct about all drivers actually in place and is installed correctly - that is you won't see any yellow exclamation signs in device manager at all.
Have you trying "scan for hardware changes" in device manager?

That is exactly correct ^^^. I recently added a larger HDD to my wife's computer (secondary, not OS drive). After initializing the drive and assigning it a drive letter, I copied all of the data from her existing data drive. Then I removed the old data drive, and went into Disk Management and gave the new drive the drive letter "D", which was the previous data drive's letter.
