Hey my mum was cleaning to day and she went to throw out our two old Foxtell boxes (Direct TV for you americans) and i decided to pull them apart and take the HDD that was in them both. They had a WD Green 160GB HDD each and when i plugged them in my comp one of them made a clicking sound When the comp was booting but the other seemed fine. But in the BIOS and when the comp started it wouldn't pick the drives up. I plugged power in to them and Sata cable.
