That's totally normal! :93:

your DD is in WBFS, a format not recognized by windows

WBFS Manager will let you see the games present on your DD and add more if needed

it's all explained there:

yes, so don't format it!! :93:

no, you don't format it, you launch wbfs manager, you point it to your hdd's drive letter (the one windows offers to format) and you'll see your games and be able to add more
