If it's a totally brand new drive, there's a slim chance it may not have a
partition table or filesystem, although that would be very unusual... most
drives you buy have an NTFS partition created for you.

If you're running Ubuntu, launching the 'gnome-disks' app will show you all
the hard drives currently connected (just type "disk" or "partition" or
similar into the Unity dash and it will show up). The usual warning applies
though: accidentally repartitioning the wrong disk will have dire
consequences!

If it doesn't show up there, use something like pastebin.ubuntu.com to show
us the contents of /var/log/dmesg, which may have more information.

Cheers,
