Hi Mohamed, if you're installing a new and/or known to work hard disk, make sure the hdd is properly plugged to the motherboard and power supply first; for the latter, you could also plug a different device like an optical disk drive if you're not sure the hdd is receiving power. Look at the (sata/pata) data cable, if you notice it's damaged / not in good working condition and you happen to have a spare one, try using it instead.
