what you need to do is connect the external drive to your PC via the USB connection and then right click "My Computer" and select "Manage" then select "Disk Management" from the left hand side, it's under "storage" from there you can format the drive and assign it a drive letter if you wish as well as activate a partition which is what windows needs to start accessing it.
