How to make element 3 5 hdd external hard drive compatible to windows 7

[toniliz]

Hello,
I just purchased the Element 3.5" HDD External Enclosure for a hard drive, however it will not appear in my drives on my Windows 7. Are these compatible or did I just waste $30? HELP!!

I assume that you properly installed a compatible drive -- was it a new drive or one previously initialized/formatted?

Can you see the drive in Windows disk management?
