I have a Seegate (SV 35) 2 Tb Hard Drive.
It is spinning and sounds good.
Can not Boot it Up nor read it externally.

When Booting up with my Windows Vista Home Premium Disc
I reach the stage where there is no where to click on.
(Just Blank, no sectors is it) Booting can not proceed..

Any suggestions?

Regards
Reg

Best way I can think of is to use CrystalDiskInfo. It may not support hard drives connected through usb so your best bet will be to connect it internally through the SATA / IDE port.
