I want to copy my entire C drive, including Windows 7, to a new drive I bought* but the new one cannot be found.
I've tried both Clonezilla and Easeus Disk Copy but neither program recognizes the new disk. However, Windows 7 does recognize the new disk.
Using the Ubuntu live CD running fdisk -l reveals only 1 hard drive, sda.
The new one is nowhere to be found.
Any ideas?

You don't specify what operating system you are booting in order to running Clonezilla or Easeus Disk Copy, (I'm guessing some sort of Linux) but it is possible that it does not have the necessary Sata drivers built in.
Some bioses have options to talk to the sata drive in different ways, eg native Sata/AHCI mode, IDE-emulation mode or even sometimes RAID. You could try temporarily changing this setting to see if it allows your operating system to detect the drive. You can switch back once the drive has been copied.
Alternatively, you could try a newer or different version of Linux.
