I clicked "Erase" and lo and behold, the new hard drive was being formatted right before my eyes. But after fiddling for awhile I decided to bite the bullet (there was no mention of clicking "Erase" as a viable solution to my problem in any of the forums/blogs/support pages that I could find). The only clickable thing was "Erase" which didn't make sense to me because it was a new disk and erasing it would do no good. When I opened Disk Utilities (in the upper left hand side of the screen when booting Leopard disk), I was able to see that I had indeed installed the drive but, as I already mentioned, no formatting options were clickable. Tried to boot up from the install disk and it wouldn't recognize the drive, nor give me formatting options at all. I had a similar problem.Macbook Pro 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, went balls to the wall and replaced hard drive with new Western Digital 500gb hard drive.
