Hey, I have a PC and I want to install Windows 7 on it, I can't because I get error 0x80300024 and I have read on the internet that I should disconnect all other drives instead the one I want to install it on in order to install Windows 7. I have two cables connected to each, a red cable and a black cable, I think the red one is connected to the motherboard but I am not sure, I have no idea where the black cable is connected to because it's really messy in there, should I disconnect both cables from the HDD and SSD or only the motherboard one? Should I disconnect it from both the HDD, SSD and Motherboard itself or is it okay to leave it connected to the Motherboard but disconnected from the HDD and SSD?

Thank you very much, but the black cable which turns out to be the power cable of the HDD won't unplug, I have tried anything and I also can't locate a lock nor a release button and I don't want to apply too much force.

I am quite unsure if it is indeed the power cable since I never did that before, I don't want to do any damage, how can I make sure that it is indeed the power cable? Maybe there is a way to remove it? Since it won't move, no matter what I do.
