External Drive Problem

I just bought a new Samsung HD753LJ and placed it in an Antec MX-1 case. At
this stage I do not have my notebook eSATA ExpressCard so I hooked it up
using the USB connection. The device drivers installed fine and it shows up
as working in Device Manager, but it does not show at Start > Computer. I
have rebooted and I get the same issue. If anyone can tell me how I can
access this drive, I would be truely grateful.

RE: External Drive Problem

Try going to Control Panel>System and Maintenance>Administrative
Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management

Then format the drive.
