wow lol, I just saw my captcha. It says "lisex".
Um anyways..
Harddrives come out of the factory pretty much blank. It needs a partition and then that partition needs to be formatted. You have no partition, so Windows has no driveletter to show you. Without partition you cannot format. Windows also tends to want to 'initialize' harddrives the first time they're being configured with partitions.
I assume you're using Windows Vista.
Connect the USB drive.
Click the 'start' button on the bottom left.
In the textfield at the bottom type: compmgmt.msc and hit enter.
A few seconds later, Computer Management will open.
Go to "disk management".
You may now already be asked to initialize the harddrive.
If so, tell it to do so, and accept the default values.
In the bottom view you will see your harddrives and optical drives.
Find the one that appears to have an empty box to the right.
Rightclick in that empty box and select "create partition".
Tell it to do so and accept the default values.
Once created, it should now have a drive letter.
(if not, rightclick again and assign drive letter)
You may now format the drive.
I believe Windows Vista offers you little choice, but NTFS is the preferred filesystem anyways.
