Disconnect hard drive and Reconnect that again and immediately run "dmesg" command to see if device recognized or not. Is your hard drive cable correct ? Also try the following command : ls -l /dev/sd* | grep sd

You most likely need to partition it first, using a partitioning tool such as gparted. If your partitioning tool of choice does not automatically format the new partition(s), you will then need to format then, using e.g. mkfs. Be careful not to repartition/reformat the wrong device!
