Helllo,

I had purchased an external hard drive of Iomega (500 Gb) but after installation its not getting detected or accessible to it. Its clearly showing in Add new hardware and the drive is not shown in My computer page.

Regards

Right click the drive.
Select Properties.
Press the Sharing Tab.
Select Advanced Sharing.
Put a check on "share this folder".
Press Permissions now that it is clickable because you put a check on share this folder box.
Under "Group or Usernames" there should be a default option of Everyone. If it does not show this for you, press add and type Everyone.
Check all 3 boxes under Allow [full control, change read].
Problem solved.
