If the drive came with driver CD's, and you are running Windows 98, which I can't remember if you are or not, then you would plop in the CD, install the software, then plug in the drive.
Knowing 98 the way I do, you'll no doubt have to restart your computer for the changes to take effect. If you're running XP, then, more than likely, the CD won't help you, but you never know. Most drives only come with driver CD's for Windows 98 computers, as those are the only ones that will not recognize the drive. Another thing I just thought about is if you're running 98, and the drive is formatted as NTFS, then you won't get it to recognize the drive, no matter what you do. You may want to take the drive to someone else's computer to see if it gets recognized there on the other computer, at least to rule out that the drive is bad. You might want to Google your problem, detailing the model and serial number of your drive, if you have it, and the problem you're having, and see if you can turn up anything that way. If you'd like, let me know the model of your drive, and the size, as well as what operating system you're using, and I'll run a cursory Google search for the problem for you, and post my results.
