Have you partitioned it? Run compmgmt.msc, choose Disk Management and see
what's there.

Needs to be partitioned to be seen in My Computer, then formatted to be
used.

Does Disk management report the disk as "unused"?
 
this drive was working fine ,one day I shut down my computer,and when it came
back up that was it,I noticed it, is like it vanished,

Have you checked Bios setup first to verify that the drive is enabled
properly ? Does it show up in My Computer?

OK, you're going to have to be more specific if you want help.

You're saying the second drive disappeared from Windows Explorer for no
apparent reason, but it can be seen by Disk Manager, or Device Manager, or
both?.

Is this a physical drive, or a partition?

In Disk Management, on the bottom right pane it will have, Disk 0, Disk 1
etc., and it will have a coloured line with a description underneath,
Healthy, Unused, or something else, and the drive letter it has assigned to
the partition. Can you see the disk or partition?

You never indicated and oddly, no one has yet asked the obvious
question: Did it EVER work, or is this a new disk installation?
 
Yes It did Work,Got All Kinds of info in there,Like I said One Day I Started
Up My Computer And it was Gone,I see it on Device Manager, But no in Disk
Management.only my main drive .
