Hey guys, I posted this on a different forum, and since you guys are so great at solving things, I thought I would post here and kill 1 bird with 2 stones.
Heres the deal: I bought a SATA HDD when I built my new Athlon 64 system. The hard drive is a 120GB Samsung. I installed my HDD (plugged it into the mobo, and then supplied it with power) and I turned on my PC. I can hear the HDD in there clicking and trying to read. It'll click for a long time before the BIOS finally IDs it. The BIOS says "Samsung...." (..... = a whole bunch of number that I dont remember). And its almost like the BIOS freezes after it says that and wont go through to load Windows on my other HDD which is IDE.
The drive just clicks and tries to read but it wont stop clicking at times. I don't get it. I've had the thing for about 2 months and never have gotten it to work (although I never really put a lot of time into it until now).
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
