Hello. Just connected a new hard drive. The device manager says it's working properly but I can't see it from 'My computer'. Can anyone help me out?

You may need to format it all properly before Windows Explorer or My Computer will pick it up.
Are you using Windows XP?

Right click my computer, manage.
Click on disk management on the rhs.
If it showing on there you should be able to right click in and format it.

Is it visible in Windows Explorer at all? If so, do you get an error about it not being formatted when you try to go to it?
If not, try this. You need to get to Disk Management. Go to: Start > Run > Type: diskmgmt.msc > OK
You should see several different drives. Can you post what you see there - including whether it lists each one as Healthy or whatever?

It doesn't recognize it. It only lists drive C, G (usb) and F (all of which are healthy but i guess that is relevant)
What does device manager say about it?
