is the Hard Disk formatted with an MBR? some stock hard disks require formatting for use, but either way the driver should have been installed. if the disk came with a CD, use the cd to install the validation drivers. If it didnt, you may have a defective disk, or your memory controller is malfunctioning (most likely not but its still a scenerio). check with the manufacturer of your computer (Dell, HP, PowerPC ect) and ask for specs concerning how much physical memory the system can handle. Basic run through, check your device ports and drivers (and if the HDD has a power supply, make sure its plugged in).

Hope this helped you :)
