Recently ordered a Western Digital hard drive (wd2500aaks) along with a whole new build. I lost 2 working days trying to set this thing up! See here
I found out the hard drive must be first run as a slave, and a western digital formatting tool must be used on it before the OS can see the drive! I had no access to a spare PC with sata connection, so in the end had to travel 30 minutes to the nearest Novatech to pick up another drive. Find it a bit silly that the drive has to first be run as a slave and formatted.
There are a few light scratches on the side of the HDD from where I have slotted it into the drive bay. Is this covered for a return? And also, are returns sent by cheque or put back into the account the payment was taken from?
Thanks
