well i picked up a WD 1TB Black Caviar Internal harddrive, how ever when i tossed it in, my computer was stuck on the BIOS page (showing the mobo name...) so i took it out, and it booted into windows no problem, so again, i plugged it in booted up, same thing, stuck on the bios page.... so i went out for a bite to eat, when i came home, it had booted into windows (happy? wrong...) went to my computer to format the bugger, and it wasnt there, it wasnt in device manager, and it wasnt in that disk management thing... so i figured, hey i have a spare enclosure, lets try that, tried it, windows seen it, i was able to format it, so i figured it should be good now?, so i tossed it into the pc AGAIN, windows booted (happy?!) went to my computer it showed the new harddrive (HAPPY?!....wrong!) as soon as i tried to write to the drive it basicaly crashed.... (just dropped it self from device manager, disk management, and my computer)
any ideas whats goin on? (my system specs are in my signature...)
someone suggested jumpers, how ever the harddrive didnt come with any.... so i have to wait for the next time i head into town, but im hoping someone has any OTHER ideas?
