New Toshiba HD input/output error

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

Installed a new Toshiba 500 GB HD from ifixit.  It shows up as a 1 TB HD and will not allow me to erase or partition it from the original start up disc, nor tiger, nor snow leopard. Says input/output error.

I'm a noob-trying to save this thing.  I replaced the HD 4 years ago with no problems.  Did I get a bad HD or is it something else?  Any help is appreciated.
