Make sure the jumpers are set correctly.
Geek-Master
Make sure to check your documentation that came with the computer.
Yes check the jumpers.
You can also check your CMOS settings on which mode your using. LBA mode is recommended for drives larger than 504 MB and is the only way of dealing with drives larger than 8.4 GB.
Also make sure that the drive slides into the bay smoothly. If it needs force pushing it in the bay, somthing is wrong.

Is this a Sata, or and IDE drive? If IDE, then as mentioned you will need to be sure the jumpers are set correctly. If Sata, then that will be irrelevant. Is this to be a new boot drive? If so, then you will need to reinstall the OS on it from CD/DVD/USB drive first, otherwise there is nothing to boot from.
