Don't worry about the transfer rates - the bottleneck is USB.

Re: External Hardrive
Try going into Control Panel->Administrative tools->Computer Management->Disc Management->See if it`s listed there.
Have you re-booted yet? If not try that first.
Also check in Computer->Organize->Folder and search options->View->"Hide empty drives in the computer folder" is not ticked.
