USB hard drive issue

I have a usb case and I put a laptop drive in and windows recognizes it in the device manager but it does not show up anywhere. Originally I had another Laptop hard drive in there but it died. I thought it would be simple plug and play but it won't show up so I can't format/use it.

Suggestions?
 
Yes- an external hard drive usually has to always have its own power source. The USB power is not enought to run it. A powered hub often is not enough.

BTW - you posted the same question in Peripherals. That is frowned upon by the MODs.
