It should be detected right away. Sometimes when I have bought an uncased hard drive meant to replace the internal hard drive, and cased it myself with USB connection; I have had to format for it to be recognized properly. Formatting was a bit troublesome on Windows for some reason, but in worked fine in Linix, ntsf file system no problem.
