[QUOTE="iRye, post: 654313, member: 24601"] Alright, you might hate me for saying these really basic things, as you seem to know quite a lot about this machine. Check your connections, always a good thing to do when experiencing issues. Does the machine power up? Do you hear fans? Do you hear the new drive spinning up? Have you tried removing the new drive? Just a rule of thumb: Western Digital and Maxtor were rated as the worst most unreliable hard drives in desktops. Except for 1 mobile drive, my 4 WD desktop drives all have failed. Stay away from WD if possible. Next time i'd reccomend a Seagate or a Hitachi Deskstar. Ever since hitachi bought IBM storage, they've been great drives. :) [/QUOTE]
