Nathan - The drive needs to be "mounted" by software for the Mac to see it. The easiest way to do it is to open your Apple Drive Setup in your utilities folder. Hopefully your new drive shows up in the drive setup, you can then highlight it and select mount volume from the "functions" menu. You may need to initialize the drive to get it mounted and formatted properly. It should show up on your desktop then.
