I have a CompUSA 400GB external usb drive which I'm planning to use as extra memory. I plug in the power adapter, connect the other line to my Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop's USB port, and turn on the power switch on the usb drive. The "My Computer" folder does not show the new usb drive on its list of memory drives, however.

Do I need to do something more to install this properly? I've used a smaller 2GB usb drive on this laptop many times, and it always shows up in the "My Computer" folder.
