HDD specs if anyone wants them:
Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 500GB IDE

I think Seagate and Maxtor are owned by the same people now, so that isn't surprising.
When you say "wouldn't turn on at all" so you mean no lights, no fans, ect., or do you mean sits at the POST screen?
If its the first option I've never heard of anything like that. If its the second, its likely that the jumpers on the drive are mis-configured for the machine you installed the drive in, or there are settings in that machine's BIOS which are incompatible with that drive.
And I will most definitely never forget watching this bald, brown thin wisp of a human being charging up to us across the sidelines after the semifinals ended waving his hands and shouting "New Strategy!!!!!! New Strategy!!!!!!" as he rallied the troops for our Finals push.
