Stupid question, but... did you plug in the power supply cable on the drive?

Yep, that is the problem. The drive STILL isn't recognized in the BIOS.
I did in fact find the cd that came with it (I don't know why but I
didn't remember pulling it out of the package a month ago when I first
got started on installing this new hard drive) and created the correct
diskette to start it all up, but it is still saying that there is no
hard drive. I don't know why or how but I am starting to believe that
the hard drive is bad. It was purchased new from Office Max, it is a
Western Digital drive. I am going to check it out on another computer
and see if it is recognized there. Thanks for all of your help and wish
me luck!!!
