If you have simply bought an extra HD for more storage then do the following:

- Right-click 'My Computer' and select Manage
- Go to the 'Disk Management' folder
- Highlight the new disk and right-click
- Create a new volume and format it (NTFS)

Job done and a new drive letter will appear in windows Explorer
