Hard Drive Failure, after install

[tx87fan]

I recently replaced my old hard drive, and motherboard, but before i replaced my old mother board i put in my new hard drive and now my new hard drive is having the same problem as the old hard drive. It worked fine while installing the motherboard and updating all the drivers and such, but when i went to change or delete some programs, or anything really, it make a crazy clicking followed by a grinding noise then just quit, and a blue screen came up saying unable to write to drive c: and now it won't even boot up. Could this be a hard driver failure caused by the old motherboard, since the one in there now is brand new. Or could it be caused by my power supply not being big enough. Please Help.

Did you at any point have both the old and new hard drives in the computer hooked up at the same time?

Do you have SMART enabled? What does it say?

Are you using the same IDE cables as the old drive? Try replacing them.

Perhaps there is a virus on your hard drive. Boot from a Windows floppy disk and run FDISK.
eg. Fdisk c: /mbr

The /mbr part will redo your master boot record, which may be corrupt.

Get the diagnostic programs off the manufacturer's site and test your hard drive.

I dont know if its possible that the motherboard blew your hard drives but that my be the worse case scenerio.

If you can understand it, you probably don't.
