Default Problems with WD My Book Home Edition

Please help me. I bought a brand new WD My Book Home Edition 500GB external
hard drive yesterday. Vista will not recongize it as a drive on the
computer. The computer sees that it is connected (in device manager and the
"ding-dong" you hear when you add a new device). I hooked it up with the
Firewire and the USB, with the same result. The drive is supposedly Vista
compatible. I downloaded the firewire drivers from WD. Since I cannot
access it as a drive, I cannot get to the setup.exe needed to use the drive.
Any ideas?
