Has the drive been set as a master? If so and it does not load try the CS
setting. Usually one of those will work and the drive will load, assuming,
of course , it is partitioned, etc as a previous reply suggested.

Open Disk Management. Is the drive partitioned/formatted and a drive letter
assigned? Right click Computer | Manage | Drive Management in the left
pane.
