I bought a new WD 750 GB My Passport, but i can’t find it on My Computer/Computer. I’ve updated the drivers, but it still doesn’t work.

I used it first on a iMac and their I have to choose, if i want use it as a “time machine”, which i accepted.

Please help me!

That’s your problem.

If it was used on Time Machine then the drive was formatted as HFS+; invisible to Windows.

Right-click on Computer/My Computer> Manage> Disk Management. You’ll see the drive as not initialized, you’ll have to initialize it and then create a new simple volume (New partition) to format it and get it to work on Windows.
