DFI NF4 Ultra D mobo not recognizing new Western Digital SE16 HD?

[$pade]

Just got one of the new WD drives from newegg specs here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822136003)

However, i can't get it to be recognized within the BIOS of my DFi NF4 Lanparty UT D motherboard. I tried forcing it to 150 mode and tried connecting it to any of the 4 SATA connection on the mobo with no luck. As soon as I power on the system it makes 3 clicking noises and when the mobo tries to detect it makes another 3 clicking noises.

Did I get a defective drive or is just incompatible with my motherboard?

Just a double checking thing.

1. You did plug it with the SATA power cable, and not molex (if there is any), or the molex?
2. Could you attempt to see if your bios can auto detect? It might happen...
3. What bios are you running?
4. Have you tried booting the HDD without anything else to see if the HDD clicks?

***Side note, your my system link doesn't work.

dfi is full of problems, i guess this is just one of the many problems with a second rate mb company, you're lucky you're not having trouble with ram also. if i were you i'd tryto refund the board even with a restocking fee and get an asus motherboard. they actually work with every hard drive and brand of ram, and psu compatible

Second rate huh?...

Asus has also their share of errors too you know... Some may be fixed but not all...

sounds like bad drive - you ar4 not even getting to bios recgnition
if you can slip it into any other pc that would test it
always check jumpers

I agree, if it's not being detected, and it's clicking, it sounds like a bad drive. My WD 250gb SATA II 16mb cache drive works well with my DFI ultra-D.
