Toshiba HDKPC03 DT01ACA100 1TB Hard Drive - 1TB, 7200 RPM, SATA, 3.5

If I were you, I’d say ef it for tonight & make the store swap it out tomorrow and start over from scratch. For all my dislike of Redmond, this should be as simple as plug it and go & if it doesn’t it’s more likely the hardware than it is the software.

If you really want to make sure, you could download a cd/dvd image of some free OS (linux/bsd/whatever) and try it’s installer but odds are if the MS installer won’t see it, nothing will.
