Computer does not see f drive

Is this drive an IDE drive? If it is you have to set the jumper to primary or slave which ever the case may be, also the data cable has the primary connection on the end of the cable and the slave connector is up farther on the cable. If this is a SATA drive there are no jumpers to set but make sure you have the power and data cables hooked up
