Have you partitioned the drive using FDISK? If not then you will only be
able to see the drive in the Device Manager. Once partitioned, then
Explorer will automatically allocate it a drive letter. Note you will
also need to then format the partition before using it.

See KB255867 - "How to Use the Fdisk Tool and the Format Tool to Partition
or Repartition a Hard Disk" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=255867).
