| | If you open an elevated cmd prompt, run diskpart, and then run "list disk", do you see it listed there? |

| | Is it visible in Windows Disk Management? And showing as correctly formatted? |

| Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora | Go into Disk Management and format it there. It probably has no drive letter yet. And probably also no defined partition. |

| | Well, I'd say "beaten to it", but twice? Man, I'm losing my touch  . +2 - if it shows up in diskpart, it simply hasn't been initialized for use on that machine, and disk management (diskmgmt.msc if you want to run it directly from the start menu or run box) should be sufficient, as previously mentioned (twice). |
