Disk manager sees new drive, Explorer does not

[Steve2]

I added a 500GB external drive (WD MyBook), formatted it successfully,
but Windows Explorer still does not see it. (Disk manager recognizes
it.)

Any suggestions?

Make sure you have a drive letter assigned

Thanks, John; that worked. I was hoping it would be something simple
like that.

You're welcome. It's nice when things are that simple.
