Hey guys, having a slight problem. My previous Core 2 desktop died so I salvaged the HDD (SATA II) and the DVD Drive (SATA I?), and built a new desktop with a H97 Plus motherboard.

I've connected it back using the old SATA cables to SATA 3 & SATA 4 ports. However whenever I try to boot up using the HDD, it loads up the Windows logo then it stops and immediately brings me to the repair page. When I try to boot up using the DVD drive instead, it gives a black screen and shortly after that it loads up the BIOS. It doesn't even give me any message such as "Press any key to boot from CD/DVD" or "No boot media detected". It just goes straight back to the BIOS each time and I'm not really sure what's going on.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.
