I had the same problem and replaced the "Control Station", still same issue, but I was using the same "power adapter".....I changed out the "Power Adapter" and the control station detected the HDD.
I guess the Power Adapter was not applying the power needed to apply power to the HDD to spin in the control station. I hooked up my old Control station and sure enough the HDD was detected. I hope this helps

If your Lorex LHV1000 HD DVR is not booting up, there are a few things you can try:
Check all cables and connections: Ensure that all cables are securely connected to the DVR and that there are no loose connections or damaged cables.
Restart the DVR: Disconnect the power cable from the DVR, wait for a few minutes, and then reconnect it. Try to power on the DVR again.
Reset the DVR: If restarting the DVR doesn't work, try resetting it to its default settings. This can be done by pressing and holding the reset button on the back of the DVR for about 10 seconds.
Check the hard drive: If the DVR is still not booting up, it could be due to a faulty hard drive. Try removing the hard drive and connecting it to a computer to check if it's still functioning properly.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be necessary to contact Lorex technical support for further assistance.
is this the hard drive you recieved with the DVR? it is possible that the HDD is set up in the wrong format. windows sets up your HDD in a NTFS format which is compatible with most DVR's but i know there are some EverFocus units that read the HDD in a diffrent format. if this is the case you need too check in your owners manual in the HDD section, it should tell you what format it records onto, then place the HDD in your PC and reformat it to the right one.
You need top open the top of the case by removing the screws and check to see if the hard drive is operating (it will be warm to the touch and may be making a slight noise). If the hard drive is not working, verify that it is plugged in. If the hard drive is bad, you can replace it with a SATA hard drive. The Lorex system will see the new hard drive and ask you to format it for use with the system.
Any drive will work - but you have to make sure that its physical configuration matches your pc and that you reformat the drive since the format used for dvr use is not compatible .
You would reset it just as you would reset the bios password on a pc. Remove cover to dvr to gain access to the inside of the unit. On the main board you will see a cr2032 battery. Remove the battery, power up the unit ( with battery out) and once the unit powers on it will say " system reset please power off". After powering the unit back off re-install the battery, power the unit back on and the system in now reset.
Does it recognize the hard drive? is the jumper on the back of the drive set on master? Jumper should be all the way to the left. Hard drive also has to be locked in the dvr for it to power up.
