[ubuntu] Problem installing Ubuntu on new Hard-Drive via USB

Hi All,

First post on here, so apologies if I'm bringing up a problem already solved - if so, please do point me in the right direction.

My old hard-drive seems to have stopped working - it's given me the blue screen of death. I had partitioned it previously and was running Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I've since installed a new 1TB Western Digital hard-drive, which BIOS seems to recognize. However, when I try to install Ubuntu via USB, it does not seem to find a hard-drive! It 'works' so to speak up until that point, in as much as Ubuntu loads, and I can run it off the USB drive, but when I try to install it, it says I am connected to the internet, which is one requirement for installation, but the other - having 4GB of space - has a big red cross next to it!

Any ideas? Many, many thanks in advance.
