ok i installed and ran everything needed.. now my mediabay hard drive wont respond. It made a clicking sound. Why is this? One thing goes wrong then another. I found a Dell Windows XP disk so i am going to use it.. BUT does formatting my hard drive twice in two days ruin it? I mean i just bought a new proimary drive and now the media bay drive is clicking. Why and what can i do.. alot of help is oviously needed.. thanks again for your time.. i know i may be difficult.

It doesn't hurt your hard drive to format it.
