Flashing question mark after replacing hd
I did not replace my hard drive with an ssd, replaced with a 1tb WD internal hard drive. Why am I getting the flashing question mark?
Is this a good question?

Did you format the drive GUID, Mac OS X extended and put a system on it? This stuff doesn't work like magic.
UPDATE
Your question is rather nebulous as to what you are doing and how and why.
If you have installed a new unformatted hard drive and are attempting to do an internet installation, you'll need to access Disk Utilities first and format the drive GUID and Mac OS X extended before attempting a system installation.

No I have not, but I think I came to the conclusion that the cord connecting the hd to computer needs to be replaced. I was able to restart in recovery mode and was going to install mountain lion, but there was no drive to install it to.
