Did you remember to partition and format the drive? If not, you need to
do this. You can do it from within Administrative ToolsComputer
ManagementDisk Management if it appears there. If it doesn't appear in
that part of Vista, partition and format it with either a utility from
the drive mftr. or even a Win98 boot disk using fdisk and then format.

If this doesn't apply to your situation, please post back with more details.
