I nhave a Dell D-610 and just purchased a new hard drive HTS4240400M9AT00. When I insert the new drive and boot the computer it says "Error No Hard Disc Found". I even put the old one back in and it says the same thing (there was np with old drive it was just maxed on space and it was a 40gb compared to the new 80gb) I have the Dell Windows XP OS discs (it says Reinstallation CD - Microsoft Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2) and I put that in but since it's not recognizing a drive I can't reinstall the OS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1) Did you connect the SATA cable from the hard drive to the motherboard? This is what the hard drive uses to send data to the components of the computer.
2) Did you plug the power cable into the hard drive?

Edit: oops thought this was a desktop computer
