Cannot install OS on WD15EARX SATA/64MB Cache HDD

WD15EARX is a WD Green drive. I would do what WDFAN_69 metnioned and do a DLG Diag test on it, maybe even do a write zeros. Did you verify if your system can handle a drive that large? You may need to check the computer/motherboard manufacturer to see how large of a drive the system can support. I would also check the BIOS and make sure that the drive is properly detected in there and possibly change the SATA port settings to something like AHCI or IDE depending on what options you have.
