I have a Acer Ferrari 4005 wlmi. The original HDD finally went bad so I purchased a replacement (ED Scorpio Blue, PATA 250 GB) I tried to install and boot up on the original System CD. It starts to load and the just comes up to a white/gray blank screen w/ a cursor at top left. Enter & function keys do nothing. I looked in the BIOS and the drive isn't recognized. I put it into a portable disk drive and it is recognized and working fine. I tried to boot off the System Recovery CD's and same. I then tried to use my previous bu CD and get to a blank Acer Recovery screen but no options or restore progress. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have been working on this for 4 days now.
