Moving SATA HDD from one PC to another [SOLVED]

[Hgx]

Does your HDD use Slimline or Micro SATA?

Regular SATA

your HD should only be connected by 2 cables (remember how it was on your old PC?)
one SATA cable (wide cable, probably a red one), that connects to your Motherboard.

Spoiler: show

one power cable, coming from your PSU

plug those two, and thats it.
boot to BIOS, see that it recognizes the HD, and set it to boot from there.
then cross your fingers...

Okey, so I pluged in my SATA cable, in my case is a black one, but it does the same thing as you told me, and it's exactly the same as my old PC (I can see it right now).
Thats one less problem

I'll keep looking for the power cable in about 2 hours, when i'll be able to take out my HDD from this (OLD) PC. (I need to use it right now)

Im guessing 2 things
1) I need to try to fit them again into the HDD (since I have 3 of those PSU cables not being used)
2) I'll need to get some kind of adapter or something like that because they won't fit into my HDD


Thanks again.

Sorry for the double-comment but, this is my PSU, in the website you'll find the cables that come with it, it may help me a lot if you can tell me wich one I should be connecting to my HDD.
(I know it sounds stupid, but I think it's the best and easy way)

this site has really bad images, because they are taken straight from above
20+4 pines is for the motherboard

Spoiler: show

4+4 pines is for the CPU

Spoiler: show

6 pines is for the Graphics card

Spoiler: show

and other connectors, that you have multiple of, are Molex and SATA power connector, those are used to connect power to all other hard drives: HDD, optic device (cd rom), etc..
since the image on the site you gave doesn't show much, here an adapter showing both connectors

Spoiler: show

the white one is a Molex male (female looks the same, but tubes instead of pins), and the black is SATA power connector.
i guess you need to use the SATA one. your PSU should have 3 of those.
