I have a seagate 750gb sata installed in 3 week old HP Pavillion. Seagate Diagnostic tools does not see the disc. When I hook the drive to another machine via USB adapter that machine also does not see it. The drive, when turned on, will make clicking noises along with humming sound. At one point the drive did not show up in the bios of the original machine. Then when it did, I could not run the "diagnostic software" that HP has on drive. Also when it is seen in bios, I can not run any self tests, Long or short, it says that they (the tests) are not supported. So after speaking with an HP support person for an hour, he tells me that the drive is infected with a virus, and that HP will not help me. I do not believe this is the case, cause I am not aware of any "malware" that will not let another machine see the drive, or let Seagate Diagnostic's see the drive. Any suggestions/help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!!
