I just put together a system and am hering a clicking noise from the board. I thought it might be comming from the HPT controller, so I put in a Promise FastTrak TX2 and I still here it. I have also put in different drives as I have 6 WD 120 gig 8 meg cache so I find it hard to believe I got 6 dead drives. I am at my wits end.

Yes the system post's. I just foud out what the problem was.

5 count them 5 WD 120 gig 8meg cache drives are bad. I got so frustrated I went to Comp USA and bought a couple of 80 gig 8 meg cache drives and BAM working great.

I have never seen this in my entire life.

Me neither, until now. Where did you get the defective drives?

Hey, for once the click of death is not coming from an IBM drive.

All five were from New Egg. That is the first time I have ever had problems with anything from them. They were the BLOW OUT SALE item's

All is well I just burned a DVD off of the Soney DRU-500 A 4.5 gigs in 30 min.

Just having fun right now.

Thanks for responding to my post.
