New External Drive not visible in "This PC"

My new external Toshiba drive (Disk 1) does not show up under "This PC." The drive is connected with a USB3.0 cable to a USB 3.1 port on the pc. I can see it in the Taskbar via the icon that I turned on (Safely Remove HArdware). I can see the drive also in the Device Manager. I also can eject the drive, because I see it in the taskbar under the Safely Remove Hardware icon.

I did this: run the Hardware and Device Troubleshooter or the Windows USB Troubleshooter and check if it helps. It did not help.
Next, I followed some online advice and I initialized the drive. Because it's a 5TG drive I chose GPT. not MBR.

I do not see a formatting option. Supposedly, in Computer Mangement, if I right-click on the disk I can choose to format. I don't see that option.

Please advise me how to make my new drive show up in This PC.

If it matters, the drive is a Toshiba X300 5TB.

I apologize for all my questions, but I am new to the pc world.

The picture below is only to demonstrate that I do not see the option to format the drive.

You need to format the disk by right clicking Unallocated space from Disk Management console.

Alright. There is a Volume Wizard. It asks me to mount in an empty NTFS folder. I have no idea where that folder should go.

Select Assign the following drive letter checkbox and select a drive letter for the new partition.

Alright, I got to the point where I could format to NTFS. I guess this will take quite a while. I will report later if I can now see th drive. Thanks again!

You are very welcome!

One thought has just occurred to me. Should I have partitioned the drive before formatting it? It's probably safer and also quicker to access data if the 5TB drive is partitioned?

You already partition the drive its up to you how many partition you want to create i have a 2TB drive i have only single partition as i said its up to you.

Thanks. The formatting process is still going.

Thanks for the rep!

Next time when you format the drive select Quick format there is a option for Quick format.
