Open up the PC and ensure that your external eSATA port is actually connected (for example, your eSATA header is plugged in, or your I/O plate on the back is actually wired into the motherboard.

Second, go to disk management and check to see if it's just a matter of your computer not assigning a drive letter to your drive when it's connected. < I'd almost bet this will be the issue.
