Have you formatted it and assigned it a drive letter?

Well there you go then. Is the drive supposed to be empty?

Go and right click on "THIS PC" and then click on manage, Once you done that go to disk management and you'll get a box telling whether to create or format the drive

Right click on the drive in disk management and format it to NTFS. If you don't see the option to format it you may first have to create a simple volume that spans the entire drive. This is also done from the context menu.

No problem. Glad you've sorted it out.
