OS x not recognizing new hdd

Looking for some help ; imac my hard drive recently crashed and so i swapped it out for a new one. Trying to load 10.4 and during install the new hdd is not found/ recognized. Looking for some insight on what steps to take to rectify the issues, Any and all help would be appreciated.

Have you ensured that the jumpers are properly plugged in?

yes checked and double checked all wiring has been properly reinstated

OS X.4 Tiger is pretty old and came with 2005/2006 models. Is that what you have as the post does not say? Is the Tiger disc the original which came with the computer as it was released in Intel and PowerPC versions.

my imac is an '07 came with the original grey 10. 4 disk and an immediate upgrade to leopard and it is intel

Let me ask a few questions. You put in the 10.4 Tiger DVD and boot to the installer. Have you gone to the Tools menu and ran Disk Utility? If so does the drive show there? If so partition it with one partition and be sure under advanced you select GUID partition. If it does not show in Disk Utility let us know.

yes the disk shows up but have been unable to erase, or partition - although i did not select GUID in the advanced options - the message that now keeps showing up is input/output error
