I had the same experience (no hard drive spin up, just clicking) when I inadvertently fried my old HD. I knew right away, tho, what the cause of the HD melt-down was--I forgot to install a SCSI terminator. This was easily, albeit a bit expensively, fixed. I would hold off on popping your new HD into your PBook and get the old one tested at your local shop--if it's dead, you need to find out why before you torch your new one; if it's not, you've eliminated one potential source for your problem.
