You are going to have to give us more info on your problem since we will have more questions than answers before we even start trying to help you... at least, I know I do ;)

For instance... is this a back up drive or the Main OS drive? Did you reformat the drive after connecting it? How did you install it? I have a feeling your drive is partitioned, you just gotta Activate the other partition(s) and assign a a Letter to it.
