where is my external HD?

[Tomaz]

I have an external HD box in which I had a DD 160 GB ATA, became too small I've replaced by a 400 GB SATA which was DD internal so far. I plug all this and Win recognize a new device for mass storage and indicates that everything is fine and is ready for use. Then it gets stuck because it does not appear in the workplace and is not in "the management of records" by against I well Mass storage device and also in disk drive USB Device ". I spent some time on Nenets or posts on the topic abound, but without finding a solution to this specific case, I may have a small idea because it seems to me that it is FAT32 but I have to check .
You also have some ideas?

Thank you.
