New Raptor 74gig - Just doesn't work when plugged in....

[Mackie2k]

Hey,

I ordered 2 74gig Raptors this week, got them last night.

One plugs in and works great, the other when plugged in doesn't show, and even stops the boot process.....

Any reason this would occur? I've tried this drive on two machines now...and nothing...

I experienced the same problem with two Seagate drives. Most likely the drive has failed. You could also need to flash your bios to the most recent version. The problem I had was with an IDE drive but drive failures are common to all forms of drives. Contact the people you ordered it from and get it replaced.

Did you try testing it on another IDE channel? How about testing the drive in another computer?

Yep, tried other IDE, Same IDE as working drive, and other computer with working Serial ATA....

Must just be a bad drive from WD....

ZipZoom will just replace it for me.......

good one was build in december, bad one was mad fEb 28th..... :-|
