Hard Drive not rcognised

My hard drive shows up in the device manager and in the set up when you first
start up but does not show in "my computor"
Does anyone know why or how to view the contents of this drive?

Thanks

Is it external or internal? Is it a new drive? Have you partitioned, allowed
a drive letter to be assigned in Disk Manager and formatted the
partition(s)?

What does Disk Management say about the drive?

I is internal. It has been used and has data on it?
