I can see it in computer management//disk manager

I have made one active partition using the disk manager but can't see
the drive in "my computer".

Why?

Hi Robin,

Have you rebooted since creating the new drive?

After making the partition did you format it?

Greetings --

Have you created and formatted a partition on the new drive yet?
