Cannot view USB Hard Drive Icon

Comment:

I have just connected a new USB hard drive and no icon appears on the desktop. However The box light is on and it is clicking as if to say it is working. Any ideas?

Is the hard drive formatted? Does the hard drive appear in Disk Utility or in the System Profiler (you can find both of these in your Applications/Utilities/ folder). Is the jumper on the hard drive set to Master rather than Slave or Cable Select (CS)? Joshua Coventry Mac dude
