Basically, what the title says. My problem is, when i booted up my newly built computer, i had a WD 1TB blue edition HDD and an Adata 64gb SSD, and after i installed the OS (W7 Home Basic) it reserved my HDD for the system and i couldnt access it for personal use. After disconnecting the HDD the computer wouldnt boot anymore. I have an external CD drive cause i couldnt afford the built-in one, with that one i kept my disc in it, but after reinserting it it just gave me a Code 5. Any help with this? if its of importance, my SATA mode selection is set to AHCI and i have a Gigabyte G1 sniper LGA 1150 H6 motherboard
Thank you!

To reinstall Windows you need the Window 7 Installer disc. Go into the BIOS and boot up the external drive holding that disc to reinstall Windows.
If you don't want to reinstall Windows, you gonna have to keep that HDD plugged in.
