Go to solution Solved by Godlygamer23,

Go to Disk Management. It should show up there. Right click on the unallocated portion and click Create Simple Volume. To get to Disk Management, go to Start and type in Disk Management. You should see an option for "creating and partitioning hard disk partitions."

If Im right, it needs to formatted and given a partition. Go to disk manager and do that. To open disk manager -> start -> right click computer -> manage -> disk management. Hope this helps.

You'd think after all these years Windows would make it easier to initialize a drive for first timers.

It's not even called Disk Management in the Start menu, what hope does anyone have of finding it without someone telling them?

"oh just type Disk Management into the start menu search, then select Create and Partition Drives. I know that's dumb, I know it doesn't say that anywhere, just don't forget it ever again."

Check out my Trading Card Inventory, I probably have that one card you need

The above solution should work but if it still doesn't show up open device manager from control panel and click "scan for hardware changes" i'll include a screenshot for you.
