The only times I've had that happen is when it can't completely close properly for some reason. It sounds like it isn't even getting to the point of spinning up, so I'd lean towards a "mechanical" problem somewhere like an obstruction (however small). Does the drive have that front "plate" on the tray that needs to be removed? Other wild guesses: Are you sure the data cable is properly connected? Are the jumper settings correct? -Mike
