You either push the lock tab down, or lift the plastic away around it.

Thats a SATA cable, goes from motherboard to HDD or optical drive, it carrys data, it only fits one way as its keyed, look at the end, its shaped like a L

Usually the metal tab goes to the top, assuming the connector is on the bottom (of the rear of the drive).

or you can look at This and it will tell you every possible connector on a PSU and where it goes, with pictures too

i cant find where it goes at all, i got 2 hard drives so i think there for them where do they typically be.

On the back of the drive, come on son, your the one looking at it.

Surveyor · 14 May 2011 at 13:03

It connects to the hard drive or optical drive using the connection on the left shown here:

you've got over 4000 posts and you dont know where the sata cable plugs in to?
step away from the computer mate!

Sorry to be brutally honest but if you can't even unplug a cable that just needs common sense to figure out then you should'nt even be inside a pc fiddling around. What you should have done before anything else was read up as much as you can about building pc's to get a general understanding of what goes where and what each component/cable actually does. It's no good losing your rag with the pc as that's when problems happen and cost's you money.

B&W · 14 May 2011 at 13:10

OH man ive done it now, i was getting confused because the PSU had SATA on them as well..

Have you inserted a power and data cable into your hard disks?

Swap the SATA data cables around on the 2 hard disks as you might have changed them around and changed the boot order.

SeraphX · 14 May 2011 at 13:21

restart the machine, enter Bios by Hitting delete
somewhere in bios will be HDD boot order, to install an OS you want to set this to dvd drive first, main HDD 2nd.
