Bought a 160gb Samsung PATA drive to replace failed original Toshiba 80gb. Dropped the new drive in, along with a universal Tiger install disk; got the normal Mac startup chime. Disk booted fine but wouldn't show new drive. I forgot I needed to format first. Formatted the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) via external drive case tethered to my MB (10.5.7). Seems fine.
Put the new 160 gb drive back into the PB. Started it up (batt is out). Got 3 tones (not "happy Mac" tones) and it doesn't start up at all, not even via the Tiger Install disk. Light on latch blinks 3 times every 20 or 30 seconds. Screen is dark. I reseated the original 1gb stick of Samsung RAM. No dice!
Any advice is much appreciated.
