I am building a new computer and for my boot drive I have selected:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236243
The motherboard is the Asus Rampage IV Extreme.
When I power on the computer I immediately hear a clicking. It is a repetitive sound that goes like this: a slight whir noise as if something is attempting to spin up, then a click. Then it repeats like that indefinitely.
I have moved other drives into the same connectors to rule out the connectors/powersupply/motherboard themselves.
The only thing I don't understand is that the BIOS detects the drive. However when I boot to a Windows installation disk, the drive does not appear in the list of usable partitions.
Is this normal and also indicative of a bad drive? Why is the BIOS able to detect it at all?
