My HD not mounting after new install. What could be the problem?

I just installed a WD3200bekt HD in my MacBook Pro 15" 2.2Ghz A1226 laptop because I just wanted some more room. After the install the Disk Utility could not see the new HD so I could not partition it. I checked all of the connections and they seemed fine but still had the same problem when I used disc utility from the boot disc. I then reinstalled the old HD and am now not even able to see it either. I have no idea how to approach this problem. Again my old drive was working fine when I took it out for the new install. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check both connections on the hard drive and logic board. Unless you zapped something, that's the only thing it can be.
