Didn't know where to post this specifically so I just put it here obviously.
Long story short I had a semi bad HDD that wouldn't let me install a 64bit OS onto it (but 32bit worked fine) so I am turning it into mass storage. I went into my case after removing the power cord and holding the power button down for a few seconds to dissipate the residual energy and proceeded to unplug the semi bad HDD from SATA port one and plug it into SATA port two. Then i plugged a different drive that I know will work with installing 64bit into SATA port one. I have opened this case before and unplugged and replaced all kinds of parts multiple times and now this is the first time this has happened. It tells me that the case has been opened. Not that it is open but has been opened which is an obvious duh. But it won't boot past this screen to let me go to boot device option. All I can do from this screen is press delete to enter BIOS setup.
