What formatting method have you used: Quick or Deep? Open 'Disk Management' and see if your drive is listed. You'll also need to check its properties and status as well such as RAW or healthy.
We'll need little more details to dig deeper and suggest troubleshooting steps accordingly.

Hi, Abigail
What type of cable are you using for this connection? Are you using a laptop? Connect your old HDD with the SATA cable and check if the drive will be listed in BIOS and Device Manager. You may need to format and initialize the drive in Disk Management.

Hope this helps
