I have my new HDD all mounted and plugged in but when I boot from the disk to format it, it won't "see" the HDD to let me install on it. I think I can hear it spinning though...
Got a tip for us?

Pull up disk utility on the install disk and format the new disk to osx journaled. Then the mb will see your disk.
Right, I am running it to try and format the drive, it's not showing up. I have ZERO options to install onto.
I'm actaully on the 15" MBP now with the 250GB HDD back into it. I installed the 500GB HDD into an external unit and when plugged in it does spin, but the computer will still not read it...
Any ideas???

I formatted the drive when it was external then I was able to OSX with disk utility when I put it back in the computer!
