I'm using Windows 7 pro.

Go to Disk Management and assign a drive letter.

Jack,
Maybe it is not formatted and/or it needs a drive letter to be assigned to it.
Right click on your Computer icon on the desktop and choose manage.
Left pane, Storage, Disk Management.
Check your USB drive status on the right pane.
See if it is formatted and/or it has a drive letter.

Yes that was it Carlos, I had to add a W.D. 1 tb Hard Drive to store
pictures on, couldn't believe how fast a hard drive fills when your camera
shoots 14mg photo's.

You're shooting 14 milligram photos? I don't think so - you're probably
shooting 14 megabyte (MB) photos. Those are pretty big.

OTOH, maybe it was just a typo?
