Uhm I'm not sure if C is a master on the secondary controller, how would I find that out?

The thing with the CD drive is, that when the new HD was installed somehow the CD was not visible anymore. When you take out the new HD and connect everything back up, the CD comes back so probably something to do with cabling/connecting but seeing as I am not the one who delves into those things, I don't really have any power in it. My dad does it~ He does have some experience in it, but I don't think he fully understands this time because the CD drive should be fine too.

That's why I think I'll have to get that new HD out so then I will have the CD drive and C so that I can run the Recovery Console on it and get it up and running and then insert the new one again but without the CD.

I installed Windows through the other PC, I used the other PC's CD drive to do it, but now it doesn't see it anymore for some reason.

I can't really start it up either so I'll just have to wait till the new HD can be taken out. I will give you a copy once everything is back up again. But I don't know if I'll wanna change anything again coz I don't really want bad stuff to happen when I'm in the middle of a project and as I don't have a CD drive so I can recover Windows, it doesn't help either.

I'll keep you updated though when I get it back up and running
