It seems like it's my motherboard being the problem here, but I'm not sure. I connect any hard disk that isn't the three I've had in my computer for a while, and they will not boot or willingly install Windows (it will tell me it's unable to but will still continue with no obvious problems.) If it is in SATA ports 0-2, I am able to install Windows (though it tells me it can't) but it still won't boot. SATA ports 3-5 just don't work for it at all.
When I try booting from a disk that isn't one of the three I mentioned earlier, it gives me a 0xc00000e error. I know it isn't the hard disks, because I can still install and boot Windows Vista or Windows 7 on them without any problems on other computers, and I can still transfer files to and from the disks. They just won't boot, but only on this computer, though I'm not sure what part of the build is causing the issue, the installations made on this computer also won't work on other computers, but will if made on the other computers with the same iso.
I have a bunch of other stuff that I don't think draws too much power, but I'm still wondering if it may be that the PSU doesn't have a great enough output or something. But then, I don't see why that would still allow me to transfer files to and from the disks. This has all caused me a lot of frustration and the hours of arranging disks in different ways and installing operating systems over and over again.
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium x64

Hard Disks: Seagate ST640LM000 HM641JI, SAMSUNG HM641JI, TOSHIBA MK5065GSX,
and the two other disks I'm trying are a Seagate ST3320418AS and a Hitachi Deskstar 0A33663.
