I bought a 160Gb last week.I formatted it as ntfs on my work pc. Took it home and it wont read on any of my pcs. Also hearing a faint clicking sound. Thinking the drive is dead, I brought ti with me to office to return at the store on my way home. Out of curiosity I connected it to my work pc and it works fine. I took it to my coworker's pc and it wont recognize. Tried on 2 other PCs, same result. it doesnt shwo up as a device. It only works on my work pc which is a dell sc430 server. Should I return it or is there somew way to get it running.

With large capacity USB NAND drives so cheap these days, they most likely have some sort of copy protection (anti-copy, in other words) on their servers, I would think. I know that I would, if it were my server.
