A few hard drive problems.
Me and my dad both bought new hard drives and we're having a few problems setting them up.
hard drive 1: (vista)
Plugged the hard drive in, the start up screens and the bios both recognise it, yet under 'My Computer' and when trying to install vista on it, it wasn't showing up when asked where I wanted to install vista to. I'm positive I have wired it up properly as there's only 2 wires which are completely different from one another. I do have with me the original installation disk that came with the PC also.
hard drive 2: (windows 7)
Same sorta situation with the PC not finding it really. Though his PC only has enough power connections for the 1 hard drive and he wants both at once (there's 2 power connections that fit, but the other goes to the CD drive) Also in the 'cage' bit there is only room for 1 hard drive. also I can't seem to make a installation disk, when I have the old hard drive in, it created a repair disk, not installation disk.
Finally, is there any way I could use my dads windows 7 key for my computer? It would be nice to upgrade from vista if possible.
Thanks for any help! Also if you need any extra details just ask. :)
