Purchased? (heh)

Check your jumpers and cabling.

I have a PS1, the ROM DOS reads as D:, so it does not appear as if yours is recognizing the new HDD

Is the drive seen correctly in the BIOS?

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology

Yeah, I don't think I'd splurge too much on a PS/1. Irregardless, you're going to need the setup disk eventually if you plan on doing anything with it...

You can Google for (a.f.a.i.r.) "ps1diag.exe", but since IBM took down their pcbbs directory some months ago, you might have trouble finding a (legitimate/non-spyware) link...
