It should be seen , I have used 3 drives in octane2's - just plug and play. maybe the drive needs to be formated , or is defective.

Did you push it in with the Octane's power on or off?

If it was on, shut it down and turn it back on. Then see if it shows up.

It it was off and the drive is good then you should have a new icon on your desktop. The 3D piechart / trivial pursuit / wedding cake looking icon.
