Ok i just recieved my new hard drive which is a Maxtor MaxLine III 250GB 7L250R0 ATA-133 16MB Cache and when i tried to boot, it wouldnt go past the first screen where it says press 'delete to enter setup'.
When i press delete the hard drive starts making clicking sounds and nothing happens. Is this drive dead or am i missing something.
I haven't messed around with the jumper settings and so far have not been able to find anything on what they should be for primary drive. I simply hooked it up out of the box.
Any help will be appreciated guys.
EDIT: Oh and just to avoid confusion this was the only hard drive in the machine when i booted up. Just trying to upgrade to a bigger capacity drive.
