I am going to ASSUME you are right in that the system is not detecting the drive at all. This means;

1. The drive is bad (it does happen with new drives too)
2. The Hard Disk Tray is bad.
3. The Backplane is bad.

-or very unlikely-

4. An Controller is bad.
5. The BIOS is screwed up.

That' about all that can cause it.

1. Check the Drives (both the old and new one).
2. Check the Tray in another slot.

After that, you're screwed most likely without sending it to someone who repairs them.
