Thanks wordplop and gooogle because it's now formatting as I write this. My Vista is slightly different in that there is a wizard that does essentially what wordplop describes. The new HDD appears in 'Computer Management' as a 'simple basic', and formatting 2 TB will take another hour or two.

Also to avoid any problems you should backup your hdd using a free software called http://www.dmailer.com/dmailer-backup.html , you can also store the backup online on their servers up to 3gb as a free software.

Or maybe the external enclosure failed. Or the drive was corrupted when disconnecting. If it doesn’t show up after having files put on it, try plugging it into a different USB port.

BUT... what happens AFTER it's shown up, and files have been moved to it, and after shutting down the computer, it doesn't show up again? Reformatting is not an option as it already has files on it. Is there another way? I have shut down, rebooted, disconnected, reconnected..etc.. It’s great information to get the external hard drive to show up initially.
