dirtbiker Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) I've just bought a 200gb Seagate Barracuda and i'm trying to install it into my current system.The problem is that when ever i connect the power connector and IDE cable then press the power button i get a tiny bit of fan movement and then nothing.If i unplug the power connector to the drive everything boots and runs as normal.The same happens with a different power supply (also 300w generic), and if i try without the DVD drive and fans plugged in.The machine is an XP2800+ with 512mb of crucial ram, a 80gb Seagate Barracuda, two 120mm fans at 5v, one 80mm fan at 5v and a DVD R/W drive running off a generic 300w PSU.I've got my doubts about the psu, but i don't want to buy a new one if i dont need it!Is this a dead-on-arrival drive or am i overlooking something obvious.
