I did the same exact thing! I got the Hitachi 7.2k drive and installed it in my Mac mini. When I popped in the Tiger install disk, and no installable drive! I then finally poked around the menus and found the Disk Utility menu. Partition, Format and then the drive was ready for install.
I'm so used to working on Windows/Linux machines, I panicked for a second not knowing what to do or how to access those functions. Conveniently placed however by Apple, just took a little looking.
