windows setup or actual windows?
if so its likely the drive is unformatted.

see if it comes up in disk management

search disk computer management in the start search then go to dick management in that,
if its there right click on it and i think the option is new volume(something likw that)

-> Start
-> Right-click "Computer"
-> Select "Manage"
-> In the Left pane of "Computer Management", click "Disk Management"

Locate your new disk in the LOWER portion of the middle panel - you may have to scroll down to find it. Right-click it, create a volume and format it.
