I simply tried plugging it into a different open SATA connector on the motherboard. If I plug it into number 2 (number 1 is connected to the original SATA hard drive that came with the system, a 120GB Seagate), it locks the system up like I described earlier. If I plug it into number 3 ... everything works fine. Curious.
