So today my 2TB hdd gave up and can't do anything with it. BIOS see's it though.

Found my old HDD and it has no issue, but when i try to plug the 2TB too, windows wont boot up from the old HDD, just hangs on loading.

i can't even go to the installer's console to "fix" it trough DOS because the installer itself wont boot up when the 2TB one is connected.

yep, both of them

actually tried as many solutions as listed on here, none of them worked.

A58M-K mobo BIOS is up to date

Sata connector works with the old HDD
