Usually your computer lets you know that a drive has been plugged in, with a beep or window. If it shows you a window it may give you options about what to do with the drive. Best option is to choose to show folders or contents. Then the empty drive should open. Otherwise, open "My Computer", and the drive should show up on the list. You can rename it like any folder, open it and drag files over to it to copy them there. If you rename it, you are limited to number of characters in name, and they will show up all caps. It will let you know when name is too long.
