Before spending the money to replace the drive, did you check all of the connections? Does the drive spin the disc? Do you hear the fan?



If it does either of the last 2 questions, it may not be dead.

What error number do you get? (Ex. Error XX)

Did you try re-seating the scsi cable? Got another you could try? Been the case for me once or twice. :smt008
