I am building a new system and everytime the system boots up the HD spins with a high pitch. The system recognizes the drive in auto detect and there are no cards in except the video card. I have not tried to fdisk yet because I didn't want to let it spin too long.
Hmmm......
Go ahead and call for an RMA!, then use it anyway. If it's normal for it to make noise (some hi-rpm drives do) the tech rep will tell you. If it craps out, then theres your answer!

I believe you are right BBA the HD is defective. I have a e-mail in to Seagate right now to see if they think so also.
