I have a WD2500JB hard drive. When I connect it, I don't hear it start, I only hear a beep. I guess it's completely dead, but maybe there is a solution, anybody can help?

Toshiba will not boot

It needs those things to start up. If you reinstalled them in the machine and it won't start up you need to check some things:
Does the screen flicker when you power it on or does it stay completely black? If it stays completely black, then the connection from the screen to the computer itself is lost. Normally it is caused by a broken cable.

If the screen flickers and then goes black, then check the following:
Does it beep at you? If it does, then the amount of beeps is important. It will state in the users manual what that numbers mean.
If it doesn't beep, then my best guess would be that there is something wrong with the power distribution in the machine.

I want this one WD2500JB

That is an old drive. No need to buy an exact replacement since that one is so old. Any hard drive will do. If your BIOS supports a larger drive, you can get an even higher capacity drive to replace it.

My hard drive is a wd2500jb and its only giving me 130 gb of space. How do i get the full 250 gb?

Chances are your disk is partitioned. If it's your Operating System drive, you should reformat with your OS disc. If it's just a secondary drive, check in Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac/Linux) and you can re-partition the drive as you desire.
For windows, do search in the start menu search bat to find disk management, and in mac use spotlight to find disk utility.

My WD2500JB stopped working. Makes a click-click-click sound.

Your hard drive is bad. If you are hearing clicking reptitiously it is you head not moving. Sorry about the bad news.

My hard drive is a wd2500jb and its only giving me 130 gb of space. How do i get the full 250 gb?

I assume the hard drive is installed inside the desktop computer.
Depending upon the age and make of the motherboard/BIOS, it may not support a hard drive as large as the 250Gb capacity. You maybe able to upgrade the BIOS version to allow it to access the full capacity of this hard drive. Go to the motherboard manufacturer's WEB site to download the latest BIOS firmware.
