I plugged in my new 320GB Western Digital drive and when it boots up I hear 2 clicks and it stops for a second and then I hear two more clicks and it keeps doing this.

It's brand new though.

Please let me know why it is doing this.

I even tried having it as the only drive installed but I still get the same problem. :scratch:

    Run the WD Data LifeGuard tool on the drive.

    Is it detected properly by the BIOS?

    If WD Data LifeGuard fails, return it!

    It does sound alot to me like a DOA drive. I've had one recently that went south literally seconds after I installed it :(
