It wont show up as a partitioned drives because there isn't any partitions on it - thought that'd be obvious. However, it'll still be listed under Computer Manager. Now create two partitions.

Also, why have you created another thread?


Edit - And why not Google or look on Youtube, as there are hundreds of guides out there detailing exactly how to do this with external drives.
