4 lights flashing on Roamio OTA after installing 2TB drive

Swapped in a 2TB drive (WD20EURS). Powered back up.
Video says "Welcome!, Starting Up....", but all four lights on the front are flashing. First the green light will be on and the drive sounds like it's trying to start spinning, but can't get going. Then all four lights start flashing.

Ross Walker's guide says "Power on and wait approximately 30 mins for the TiVo Roamio to work its magic. If you have a UK Virgin Media Tivo then you need to hold TV+Down+Record during boot. Note, if you find that after 30 seconds all 4 lights on the front of the Tivo are flashing this likely means you are using the wrong power supply"
I'm using the correct power supply and tried another one from a spare OTA.

What exactly should I be seeing for a half hour while the Tivo "works it's magic"?
Do the flashing lights mean it isn't going to work no matter how long I leave it?

EDIT: dropped old drive back in the Roamio OTA and happily it was back to normal. Tried the new 2TB drive in the spare (inactive) OTA and got the same results. Guess I'll try it in a PC next. Maybe I got a DOA drive.
