What version did you install. I'd supply a link for you but your post left out the needed information.
Don't panic yet.

Here's what I have,
Maxtor one touch USB 2.0, 120GB 7200RPM Ext. HD.
Here's what happened so far.
I was having trouble with my computer so I decided to reformat my local HD and reinstall Win XP. So first, I made a duplicate copy of my C: drive onto the Ext. HD(F: drive). I reformatted my C: drive and reinstalled Win XP. Next, I installed the software and drivers for the Ext. HD and connected the HD. Now in Device mgr I can see the HD under disk drives but under win explorer there is no HD or Drive letter. I have reinstalled this several times and connected the HD to different USB ports all having the same trouble. I downloaded TweakUI and the drive is not there. I have updated win XP to SP2 and still stuck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
