Just built a system, and upon launching it up I hear clicking noises coming from the hard drive. In the BIOS it shows the port it is plugged into as occupied, but doesn't say what is in it. I put in the OS disk and tried to install but when you get to the part where you select the drive to install it just says "Disk 0 Unallocated Space Total Size 0.0 MB Free Space 0.0 MB".

I'm thinking the drive is DOA and I need to RMA but I'm just checking to be sure it sounds like that is whats going on.
