I just got my rig from newegg today. I was so happy and excited to test this puppy out. Well I booted up and it came up just fine. There was something with the drive that I needed to change inside the bios. Well I rebooted the machine and now when I look the drive isnt displaying! And its making the strangest clicking sound. I'm so pissed right now. It makes a "Claaaa Claaaa Click". I can't really explain the sound but it is making one and nothing I do can get it to show anymore in bios at all. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm currently installing my OS on a external drive but I just want them damn thing installed so I can try my new 8800GT. Btw this was a seagate 250gb sata drive.
 
I've had a similar thing happen with one of my WD Raptors. It sucks but its the way of the hard drive, theres always bound to be a dud. Just be thankful you didn't have any data on it. I'd contact the egg or Seagate, you will get a replacement.
