Sounds like SMART was reporting an error because the cable wasn't connected correctly, or something to that effect. You're probably fine :D

yes dud i turned on secure boot after putting on my gigabyte motherboards sata cable no smart problem occurred i booted into Windows without any problem is it bad to use one motherboards sata cable to other one?
 


For the most part, a sata cable is going to be a sata cable. If it works it works. I'd just leave everything how it is if there isn't a problem, and there definitely isn't one here, I think

k bro just to let u know asus as sata white cable which is 6gb/s and now i connected gigabyte motherboards sata cable of red cable to asus which is 3gb/s it won't damage my motherboard right?
 


No, those numbers refer to transfer speed. The red cable is slower than the white one.

I might be worth trying the white cable again, to see if you can get it to work. The speed difference probably won't be all that noticeable though
