Im having problems getting my system image onto a new hard drive

short story to get you guys caught up

hard drive went bad.
got a new hard drive.
ran the hard drive in another machine to format it to NTFS and gave it a drive letter of A
put the new hard drive into the computer
ran the system repair disc

now it will not recognize a drive. when i go into command prompt i try to reformat it to NTFS, (format X: /fs:NTFS) or something like that

it needs a drive label. what do i put there?

thanks,

Ninja
