open device manager
is there a tick on the drive?
double click it and search you disc and point at the divers from the disk
you could run the add new hardware wizard again
just unplug it and plug it in again

in case you have tried it in yet another computer and it did not paintings (and that i'm assuming you probably did attempt installation the drivers for the not user-friendly stress) and it used to paintings - then it quite is unquestionably one of three issues: a million. Your cable is undesirable - attempt a distinctive one 2. Your enclosure is failing - attempt putting your not user-friendly stress into your computing gadget internally - if achieveable 3. Your not user-friendly stress is undesirable

I think that you should format it using a start up disk like for Windows 98 it's the best start up disk.. or maybe cause you are using another file system and the hard disk using other!!

If you are connecting it by USB you'll have to make sure your USB hub is enabled in device manager. Other than that there shouldn't be a problem.
It all depends on what you are running though.

first thing you need to do is to check whether it is shown in BIOS. it may have happened that the jumper setting you are using is conflicting with other HDD/Optical drive (CD/DVD). once it is shown in bios, there is no reason your hdd is not shon in explorer.

Its probably not partitioned/formatted... You can use Windows Disk Manager to do it, just be careful that you dont format your primary hard disk... Need any in depth help, dont be afraid to contact me.
