i know this may seem like a stupid question, but have you formatted it yet?

goto start menu, control panel, admin tools, computer management, disk management tab, format assign drive letter.

Next time also, I recommend trying to search the forum this problem comes up at least 2x a day. If this isn't your specific problem, be more specific in your description of what's going on.
