Wade,

Try opening a terminal and typing in fdisk -l at the prompt as sudo.
That will list the drives the system sees. If the new drive shows up
(you can tell by the capacity it shows), jot down the hd designation,
then as sudo at the prompt, type   mount /dev/hdxx   where hdxx is the
designation you found. If this works, then you may have to
edit /etc/fstab to include the new drive available to the system.

Best,

Pete
