Hi, My old 80GB hard drive that came with my 15" 1.5ghz powerbook died last week, under S.M.A.R.T it says failing, get clicking noises and all that good stuff. So I bought a Western Digital model beve2500 250gb hard drive to replace it, it's a comatable drive eide/pata. But it's not showing up in the disk utility, or systems profile. It's connected and I can here the HD spinning but it does not show up anywhere. I even reconnected the broken hard drive and it shows, is there something I'm missing or is the drive busted?

Thanks in advance.
