The Device Manager shows hardware so it will show everything including all drives. My Computer shows software, so it will only
display logical drives, ie, only partitioned drives which have a letter assigned (formatted or not).

Use the Disk Management console (Run->diskmgmt.msc) to view the other drive and partition it.
