External drive not accessible in Windows?

[Feneant]

I have an HDD in a docking Thermaltake docking station that I bought to backup my Steam\Direct2Drive games. This is a Samsung 1TB drive that has never been used before. I had another 500 GB drive in there that works just fine but when I swapped it with the 1TB, it no longer detects the drive.

It does detect the docking station as a USB Mass Storage Device. Heck, in the device manager I can see it as a Disk Drive as a 'Generic External USB Device' which even says it's working properly but I can't access it. This is what the Volumes tab show :

I tried it on another laptop, same results and with an external SATA connector but no luck.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Ok... figured it out. In the admin tools under computer management, disk management, shows as disk 1 and you can format it from there.

You'd think Windows would make this easier but why have it easy when it can be hard!!

I'd have deleted the thread but RFD doesn't appear to offer this option.
