Hi,
I purchased a dell 610 laptop from a prosecuting attorneys' auction with the hard drive missing. I figured "no problem" , bought a new hard drive and installed it in the 610. After many hair pulling sessions it still will not recognize the new hard drive... Please, anyone who has any pertinent information, please help me out!!!!! Thanks.....

what size hdd ,what did you try, to have computer recognize the drive ,did you try windows cd to see it would format it and load windows on it .is drive new,as in never used ??

laptops not recognizing hdd ,how does one install drivers
