Couple things to check first:

Is the hard drive powering on?
Is the hard drive seen in the motherobard's BIOS?

If the drive isn't seen by the BIOS then Windows will never find it. If this is the case I'd try a different SATA port and maybe a different cable, after making sure the drive power/data cables were fully connected.
