If it is there, right click on the drive letter it has selected for that device and select Change Drive letter and Path. From there you can select a different drive letter for that USB HD that you plugged in that is not in use already. Save and close these windows and go back into My Computer and the device will show up.

If I were you, I would try this...^ You never said if you did it or not.
