My WD elements drive won't show up on my computer.

My WD elemnts 1TB drive will not show up on my advent (windows vista) laptop. It makes the noise of something being plugged in and gives me a safely remove hardware option but won't give me autoplay or show up in my computer. I can't find it anywhere. It worked the first time and I moved some files over. Now it won't. However it does work with my dad's desktop, also advent, running XP. What can I do?

Right click on My Computer select Manage.  On the following screen click on Disk Management.  Now it should show up on the right hand side and you can assign it a drive letter.

Once it's got its Letter, it WILL show up in Windows Explorer.
