Find Disk Utility by opening Spotlight (cmd+space-bar) and start typing Disk Utility, press enter to open the program. Look in the list on the left to see if the hard drive appears there. If you can see the hard drive in Disk Utility check underneath it for a volume. If it is there click on it and select Mount.
