If there are jumpers on the drive remove them and try again. You might be running a SATA II or III connector on a SATA I machine. There have been many reports of problems with "backward compatibility" on some of the new SATA III drives.
If this Answer is helpful please remember to return and mark it Accepted.

Thank you for replying'
No jumpers, I think you're right about the SATA III backwards compatibility issues..I even partitioned it using an Imac with 10.6.8 and when I put the hardrive back it showed up as disk01 unmounted.
Do not know what else to do
Contact the vendor and see if you can return/exchange it for a compatible drive.
