Is your hard disk working otherwise? did you have another OS installed earlier?? Are you trying to make a dual boot system??
If you have another OS installed already and are trying to make a dual boot system .. you will first ned to partition the drive int two partitions and then install LINUX on the primary partition.
If Linux is the only OS and you did have a previos OS installed you will firs t need to format the HDD
If you have already formatted the HDD and there is no previous OS on the HDD then you should try checking if the connections of data and power cable on the HDD are all fine
change HDD data cable
and make sure HDD is primary master
