My system currently has 2 USB hard disk drives, and I just connected a
third. There are IDE drives too of course.

My new drive is recognized, and shows up in Device Manager under Drives, but
doesn't show up in Disk Manager. It is a brand new drive, so it needs to be
partitioned and formated, but if it doesn't show up in Disk Management, how
can I do it? Is there a way to get it to show up here?

Go to: Start/My Computer
does it show up there? If it does, rightclick it and you'll have choice to
format.
