A few options: "fdisk /mbr" may be needed to initialize the disk for DOS if it's not seeing anything. Then "fdisk" should see the disk. Jumper settings? Did you move the drive? What does "cfdisk" see? As a last resort, download the manufacturers disk utility and zero the drive out. Takes a while but you'll know if the disk is any good or not. Though I've had drive survive a low format and die a couple weeks later. Mileage may vary. No warranties or guarantees are implied. Play at your own risk. Yada, yada, yada.
