If there is, Linux couldn't tell you. How's it supposed to tell you what's wrong with a disk it can't see? Someone needs to do some basic hardware troubleshooting on this system. We don't even...

Have you managed to ask the service technicians what the capacity of the disk was and where it came from? That would help a LOT. Right now all we're doing is guessing.

It may be a mirror. Do...

The installed hardware still isn't working for whatever reason. I really can't tell why from here but it's probably either driver or hardware related.

First, df -h to make sure it's not mounted anywhere already. The first column will show devices already mounted.

Then mount /dev/sdc1 /path/to/wherever/i/want/to/mount/it

I wouldn't trust that unless you were sure. Ask how large the disk was supposed to be, and look for an unused disk with that capacity.

That's not your new disk then, or if it is, something's wrong with it. dd doesn't care if the disk's been formatted.

It should show up no matter what. It might have a corrupt partition table or no partition table or a pre-existing partition table but it should at the very least show up and tell you what the disk's...

That's an interesting conclusion given that I don't see sde listed in there at all, and it should be! If it somehow missed it, try fdisk -l /dev/sde

Run fdisk -l. It will show the capacities of the disks to help you pin it down more absolutely.
