[QUOTE="Lbatson21, post: 1337038, member: 169331"] Make sure when you boot up that you're holding down C so it will boot from DVD. The reason it can't recognize the drive is there is nothing on it and it has not been formatted. Once you boot into the OSX install disk you'll want to go to the utilities menu and open disk utility where you can format the drive as Mac OS Extended Journaled and then you can install onto the new HD.
