QUICK QUESTION!

The three little blocks.

Take the one for the front panel connectors, plug them into the block and plug the block into JFP1 on the board.

Do the same for USB block and put into JUSB1 or 2

HD audio lead from the case goes into the other and plug this into JAUD1
=========================

Ignore the speaker buzzer.
 
Say for example this is your drive:
1tb-desktop-3-5-sata-hard-drive-dhd-sata-1tb.jpg


This will go in to the first connector (going from left to right):
G_74.jpg


This will go in to the 2nd connector:
CB-036-OK_400.jpg


You shouldn't need to worry about the others, however if you don't have SATA power connectors, plug a MOLEX connector in to the last connector in the drive.

A molex connector looks like:

Also, for anybody else helping, this is his build I think (based on his previous posts):
AMD Llano A8-3850 2.90GHz (Socket FM1) APU Processor
MSI A75MA-G55 AMD Hudson D3 (Socket FM1) DDR3 Llano MIcro-ATX Motherboard
Microsoft Windows 7 Bundle - Home Premium 64 Bit
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (WD5000AAKX)
Cooler Master Elite 430 Windowed Case - Black (with 500w Elite Power PSU)
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9)
Samsung SH-S222AL/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA Lightscribe ReWriter (Black)

I've seen to have misplaces the wires that say HDD and reset flash etc!

and these sata cables have completley confused me!

Take it slowly and one by one, lets start with wiring the hard drive.
If you look at the hard drive on one side will be a few connections.
first of all there should be two Sata connections, One of these (the bigger one) is Sata power
The smaller one is Sata Data
There may also be a Molex connector (the white 4 pin rectangles), yet this may be covered by a plastic blanker

First of all, we do not need to use the Molex on the hard drive... PERIOD!, unless you do not have any spare Sata power connections left on you're power supply unit.
Take the wider Sata power connector directly from the power supply (using no adaptors) and plug it into the wider Sata power connection that is on the back of the hard drive

now take one of the thinner Sata data cables from a small packet included with either you're motherboard or hard drive, Plug this into the smaller Sata Data into the hard drive, with the other end of this cable plug it into a Sata 6Gbs (if you don't know witch are witch read the motherboard manual) port on the motherboard.
And that's you're hard drive fully wired :) let us know when you've done that

haha thought someone may bring that up, but i know how to wire a computer properly, and also gave more detail, if he's knew to this he's probably overthikinking it a little bit, i mean i knew i was when i first took apart a computer i was bricking it!

First time I took apart a computer I broke it, never got round to even diagnosing it D:. Its up in the loft now :)

Take a picture of the HDD :) It will help

yeah, the first time i took apart a computer it was my mums shuttle she used for business, she told me to dust it, i did, and i did a good job of, well the dusting part, anyway, i saw the (thing) as i knew it as was full of dust, thsi of course was the power supply, and this is where you will laugh,i saw the red switch on the back, and thought it changed the psu fan speed, and because my mother complained it was noisey i switched from 230 to 115... anyway, i plugged it in and everything went POP, actually i was really lucky it was only the psu, but shuttle psu's are a ******* to find, so since then she got a friend to extrenaly wire the whole thing with a different full atx power supply, so now in her office there is the pc, and a great big atx psu outside the case right next to it ;)
i have improved allot, and i mean allot! since then :)
anyway, pcnoob1992, how you getting on?
 
Okay have got power running to both disc drive and harddrive now hurray including being plugged into motherboard

I am now left with the following



2 of these I think they must be for if you want to add more harddrives in the future?

DONE!
 
Have you plugged the Sata data cable in to the drive and motherboard?
What happens when you power your PC on?
