If you create a partition, format the disk and use the assign command, it should be visible in the Windows Explorer.
Use the Disk Management snapin to accomplish the tasks. I will edit this after I see which version of Windows you have installed.
Windows 10.
Right click the Windows icon on the left had bottom corner of the screen. Now choose Disk Management. Look through the disks available and right click the new one to see the available options. Use the change drive letter and paths option to assign a drive letter after creating a partition and formatting it. That will make the new disk available for storage.
The options you see will be somewhat different as this disk already has been partitioned, formatted and assigned a letter in the operating system
