Install the new hard drive on the Laptop Inspiron 8600

With the help of people on this forum, I installed a Scopio 160 GB ATA - 100 Mobile Hard Drive just purchased from Dell on my Inspiron 8600 HD.  I tried to install Windows XP with the Dell reinstallation CD, this origianally came with the Inspiron 8600.  Installation starts, runs for awhile and then informs me that there is no hard drive.  I tried to reinstall the Hard Drive - the same thing.  I tried to install the Dell CD Drivers and Utilities - same thing.  Anyone have any ideas where to go from here?   The system has recognized my old HD, but in 5 or 10 minutes or the BSOD appeared.  Diagnostics Dell CD indicated that everything was ok except the HD.  I'm assuming that the HD is not installed correctly, it is the bad HD or it does not.  I appreciate the help.  No software is not supplied with the disk ATA Scorpio.
