It's not formatted right? Assuming that's the case, you will need to do that before you can see it under 'My Computer' Right click on My Computer ---> Manage. Now go to Disk Management. You'll be able to see all drives connected to the system. You should be able to see the drive now, but it's unusable until you format it. Right click on the drive you want to fomat to bring up the menu, and formatting should be one of the options. After it's formatted you can assign a drive letter to it, which will make it viewable under My Computer.
Could you be a bit more specific on your system specs, including brands? Offhand, I can't see anything that should be causing this problem, but then again, I don't know enough about what you have to accurately make that assessment.
hm..Soltek.. I know someone with a Soltek as their motherboard....not exactly what I'd call reliable. Check out what their sites description is in google. "SOLTEK COMPUTER INC. Mainboards from a Total Quality producer. www.soltek.com.tw/ - 5k" 5kb??? That must be a kick ass homepage! Also last time I tried, the "operation timed out when trying to contact this location"...
