Err, please don't SHOUT. All caps is actually against the forum rules, even if you are frustrated.
It is possible, although highly unlikely, that the drive is dead out of the box. Another way to test it might be a cheap SATA-to-USB cable / thingie. If you go that route, I personally would choose one with an external power supply, like this: http
/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232027&cm_re=sata_to_usb-_-12-232-027-_-Product . Not endorsing that, just using it as an example.
You mentioned that you have two laptops. If the other is working, and has win7 or win8, then you already have software that can burn a disc from an ISO file. Take a peek here...

See http/windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/installing-reinstalling-windows#1TC=windows-7
If the laptop had win 7 to start with, it should be OK.
With the old drive in, boot in Safe Mode (F8 per http/windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode#1TC=windows-7) and do a Computer Repair. If that doesn't fix it, try a Last Know Good Configuration (system restore).
If that doesn't work, put the drive in a PC and run a Checkdisk with Repair on it. If OK, try installing Windows on it.

What size drive did you buy? (Make model will be helpful).
Does the BIOS recognize the full size of the drive?
When you started to install Windows, what did it show for unallocated space?

And the most important question: is there data somewhere on the old drive or the new one that you need to recover? If so, then you need to recover it before doing an installation.
