It shouldnt need a driver under xp or vista, if it does try the manufacturers website,
Otherwise Right click "My Computer" click on Manage.
Next Click on Disk Management to see if your drive is showing in the list, the drive letter may be conflicting with something else, if so on the right hand pane right click your new drive and click change drive letter and paths, and give it a new letter, S for example.
If it's not showing in the Disk Management it maybe under Removeable storage.
It also may need formatting if it's a new drive.
