I tried a new HDD but found out it was not supported because it was 64 bit or something

I hope that's not it. I can't get anything to load from the CD ROM drive.

I may get desperate and open it a third time to look for loose wires, etc.

The second time was to un-reverse the wires to two identical adjacent plugs, no color coding, no won't fit in the wrong socket, and different color wires in the plug and socket.

That’s nightmare material. Referral to Creative Nightmare Team which might result in emotional catharsis.

I didn’t understand a word of that, but you’re welcome to borrow a “Duck Dynasty” themed nightmare.

Are the drives recognized in BIOS?
