    Have you gone into the Bios setup and made sure its detecting it ok?

    Have you tried using a different IDE cable? Are the jumper settings correct? (i.e. if it is your 'master' hard disk, are the jumpers set to 'master' and not 'slave'?

    Sounds like a power problem rather than hd. Did the old hd you had originally work in it? Have you tried putting the old one back in?
    Does anything happen when you turn the comp on? Any keyboard, power lights etc? Have you rechecked all the connections in the case to make sure nothing was knocked and isn't seated properly?
