Hello,
I recently wiped my WD Hard Drive clean. And now, it can be seen in the device manager, but not under My Computer. I've checked the driver, and it says it's working properly. Any help that can be offered would be appreciated.

Well, it would help to know exactly what you did to "wiped my WD Hard Drive clean". If you Deleted all its Partitions then you will have to Create one or more new Primary Partitions on it and Format each. You do these jobs in Windows Disk Management, in the LOWER RIGHT pane. Without a Partition defined and Formatted, Windows cannot recognize the space to use.
