The new hard drive is installed in the pc but when I go to my computer, it doesn't recogonize it. It knows its there because it found new hardware. How do I set this up?

Set the jumper correctly and reformat it. HDD nowadays should be plug and play. If not, try installing the driver with the accompanied CD.

Set the jumper correctly and you'll need to partition a new hard drive.

i think your hard drive is not properly installed.
Open you CPU Case and check the data cable and Jumper settings of ur hard drive.(you should contact to a hardware master to do this).
you should open the system setup during the system boot, to check is it recognized or not.
if it appears in system main setup, i think it will appear automaticaly in winddows xp.

Easiest is to add an external USB DRive, its plug and play, a 200Gb hard drive is about $99
