External USB hard disks should be automatically detected by Windows and show upo in the Explorer.  On rare occasion they need to be formatted and partitioned first.

Open the Windows disk manager and see if the disk is seen there.  Click Start->Run and enter diskmgmt.msc, then hit Enter.

Is the drive shown in the list of devices? Identify it by the name or size.  Does it list a "healthy, primary partition"? 

If not that is your issue.  If it does it may simply need a drive letter assigned.

To assign a drive letter right click the partition (right part of lower window).  Select "Change Drive Letters and Paths" and follow the prompts.

If there is no prtition right click the "unused space" and select "create partition".  Keep the defaults presented and follow the prompts.  Assign a drive letter and you should be good to go.

In the odd chance that Windows doesn't detect the drive at all you may need to install some drivers from Seagate.  These would be on Seagates web site but I highly doubt that would be needed.
