What operating system are you running?

Is it a USB hard drive. Or is it a IDE/SATA drive connected with a convertor to USB making it simmilair but you buy the drive and convertor seperate. This way is usally cheaper.

Did you check to see if the device is in the device manager and diskmanagement?
to do so:
go to start type in the run box or Vista search box. diskmgmt.msc

in disk manager, is it formatted?

device manager can be found by right-clicking My Comp>Properties>Hardware>Device Manager

Notify us of any yellow exclamation marks, or any problems observed on the list that will appear.

Sounds like you don't have the right drivers installed. I'm guessing the CD that was provided came with the driver. You'll need to pull the driver off the CD on another computer with a CDROM. From there you can put it on a USB thumb drive or upload it to your email or one of the many upload services. Download it and install on your laptop.
