Verify that your power supply is functioning correctly. If you can see the drive in device manager then use the disk management utility in Windows to reformat the drive.

If you have used the drive previously on Windows NT for example you may need to Low level format it. You obtain a program from www.hdguru.com which will reformat the drive back to factory.

Hope that helps.
