I have just bought an OEM WD 5400 40gb hard drive to replace my dads old drive (That one does not work any more). I hooked up the new drive, turned the computer on and the new HD started making this "click-click ... click-click ... click-click ..." sound. It then goes silent for a few seconds and then starts to repeate the same clicking sounds, the system states that there is a "media" error? The bios won't recognise the drive at all.
am I doing anything wrong, or is this a faulty drive? It makes the same noise in two other computers.
