    Are you familiar with entering the BIOS to see if the physical drive shows up there?

    Do you have the drive's jumpers set correctly, for either master/slave or cable select?

    First: we do know what kind of PC you are using, which means that you did not provided the properties of your PC.
    Secound: I suggest you to right click on My computer icon and chose properties, on the context menu click manage, than on the Computer Management on the left find Disk Management and check there if your new HD is Healthy, if it's not Format it.
    Cheers.
