Not sure which heading to run this under. Computer won't boot up

[Big_g1976]

I recently bought a new computer case and successfully swapped my home build over to it. Near the end of the install I realized that the front cover of the case didn't allow access for a cD drive. I went ahead and finished swapping over the parts so I had a computer to play on while I waited for Amazon to respond to my review and refund request. Well they didn't offer an exchange so I had to swap the parts back over to the old case. Now it won't boot up. It says it needs to repair the install of windows and then goes to a screen where I'm supposed to choose a language but the keyboard goes dead so I can't choose anything. I tried 3 times and got the same result. Is there anything I could have hooked up wrong that would cause these symptoms?

Are you absolutely sure you plugged the SATA cable back into the same one it was initially in? All cables seated properly?

Also, if you only just occasionally use the CD drive (as most do anymore), you could just buy a USB CD/DVD burner for those few occasions.

I don't know if this help. Connect only the drive with window OS to motherboard. Do not connect other drive or CD drive at all. Try to boot it up to see it will work.

I'm not 100% sure I put the drive back exactly where they came from.

go into the bios do a hard reset (factory default). after you reset it make sure sata ports set tot achi mode. video card (priamny display set to peg/pci and video cable on the gpu if you have one. under boot tab make sure the right drive is the boot drive.

There's not an option for a hard reset in the bios.

I cleared the cmos and I got the sane result. As far as achi mode I can't find anywhere I have control of that. Looks like a fresh install of windows is eminent. Thanks for your help peoples.
