Hey, I have followed these instructions, and still am not able to find My Passport, when I go to device manager, the drive isn’t showing. Could you give a more basic explination?

I bought a new WD 750 GB My Passport, but i can’t find it on My Computer/Computer. I’ve updated the drivers, but it still doesn’t work.
I used it first on a iMac and their I have to choose, if i want use it as a “time machine”, which i accepted.
Please help me!

That’s your problem.
If it was used on Time Machine then the drive was formatted as HFS+; invisible to Windows.
Right-click on Computer/My Computer> Manage> Disk Management. You’ll see the drive as not initialized, you’ll have to initialize it and then create a new simple volume (New partition) to format it and get it to work on Windows.
