| It might be mapped to a letter that is already in use. Or it might be a foreign disk that needs converted to normal if you already have stuff on it. Or if it is brand new, just format it. |

| Have a check in disk manager Right click on "My Computer" > "Manage" > "Disk Management" You should see all your disks in the list, it may need to have a partition created on it or formated, you'll be able to do it all from here  |
