what is your montherboard? does it support 1TB drives?

Hey there, mjo jordan.

Unfortunately if the drive doesn't spin up at all, it sounds more like the PSU can't power it up. I'd recommend that you test the drive with another computer if you have that option, just to make sure that it's not a faulty HDD and that everything's OK with it. But it sounds more like the PSU can't handle it having in mind you've tried several power cables.

Hope that helps.

hello vesp3r ..

thank you for the quick response !

my board is a pvm7 and the bios date is 11/17/2005

I can see it supports max to 1TB drive so you should test if it works on another computer. Then as said by Boogieman_WD you will know its your PSU that cant handle it
