Is the new drive 1.5 Gb/sec compatible?
Did you do this with the Install Disc?
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
& format the Disk HFS+?

Neither one is recognized by Disc Utility. That's my problem. It's not with the drives but with the computer somewhere. Yes, I did this with the OS X install disc. Because the discs are not being recognized I am unable to go any further. I've even tried my TechTools Pro disc and it can't recognize any internal drives.
