So, i have an old Dell Vostro 200 with a Seagate Barracuda 160gb 7200.10 hard drive and I decided to replace it with harddrive with a little more memory. The harddrive that I decided to replace it with is a Seagate Barracuda 500gb 7200.12 (which i had lying around the house). They are both 3.5 inch SATA drives. When I put in the 500gb SATA drive and pressed the power button, the computer didnt start up (no cpu fan or psu light). Instead an amber light turned on and stayed on until i unplugged it from the wall. I put back it the 160gb SATA and it booted right up, everything was normal.
Was the 500gb SATA
