Default HDD invisible

I am trying to back up my files to a second hard drive. But, when I go to My
computer, it just doesn't show. I look on CMD and the hd is there, and all
the connections are fine. How do I get it back?

I run a Windows Vista Premium.

Hi,

Is this a new drive? Have you created and formatted at least one volume on
it?

Hi, Cheese.

What do you see in Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc)?

What do you mean by "look on CMD"?
