It doesn't show up on the desktop at the moment, only in Disk Utility, as a single volume waiting to be formatted (after which I notice things tend to show up on the desktop.) You sure I don't have to do anything? Shouldn't see two "drives"? And is there a value to having it formatted so it can be read by a Windows machine as well? Methinks yes - if you format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) won't it be unreadable by Windows?
