Does your computer recognize the drive?

What Operating system are you using?

If Vista or Win 7, then hit the Start button, and type diskmgmt.msc into the run box and hit Return (Enter).

From there, you should be able to partition the new drive and format it.

I have tried that and as it was formatting, a message came indicating that,"Windows could not complete formatting". and still I've not been able to access the drive.

Did the drive ever work? What kind of USB power is running to the enclosure? sometimes larger drives need the power from 2 USB ports to spin up.
