ibook g4 harddrive replacement not working

I got an iBook G4 from a friend which was not booting. I ran the apple hardware test from the cd and it found hard drive errors. I purchased a new hard drive and installed it. I rebooted the computer and formatted the drive in disk utility and proceeded to try and install OSX on it. All was going well until the install stopped and displayed a message along the lines of "The Installer has experienced an error, please try to reinstall". So I reboot the computer and go to reinstall OSX, but for some reason now the hard drive won't show up under disk utilities.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
