Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management. The drive may need formated. As an alternative download the diagnostic/repair software from the mfg website and run it. If after formatted it's not not seen, make sure there is a drive letter assigned, which you can do in Disk Management
