DId you activate the drive in Disk manager? If not you can get there by right clicking on my computer and going to "Manage". Then from there you click on "disk managment" to initialize the disk.

Well now that you can see the disk in windows you are able to format and such from windows so that should make things easier. Glad I could be of help.
