Hi,
Apparently you have tried most if not all of the basic install procedures.
If and when you connected it as a secondary or slave to a working/booting PC, was it auto detected at the CMOS/BIOS stage? If yes, then perhaps it is a partitioning/formatiing issue, if not then chances are that it is a hardware problem and the drive is dead.
Alternately, you can try using an external SATA/IDE Interface to USB such as a VANTEC CB-ISATAU2 SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter
or any comparable product. This would provide the SATA/IDE connections to
your new hard drive as well as a USB cord to your PC's USB port.
Hope this be of help/idea. Pls post back how things turned out or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
