Have you tried leaving the drive hooked up and rebooting and then check?
Could you complete this tutorial by Golden so we can see if SP-1 installed properly and how your activation is looking.
Windows Genuine and Activation Issue Posting Instructions
Also if you could you list all the TuneUp, CleanUp, SpeedUp and Registry Cleaners you have used?
Yes I have tried that.

so far since in this installation of windows I have done I have only installed Microsoft Security Essentials and my sandisk SSD Dashboard. I have not installed anything other tuning utilities nor have I ran any scans on anything.
The log looks good and SP-1 shows installed.
Now I'm not understanding how you are hooking up things. It appears that you are not getting a proper connection.
What ssd are you using with your external caddy?
Where exactly are you plugging in the caddy into?
What cable from the motherboard are you using?
What cable for power are you using?
Also, I read something about sata speeds on the m14x r1.
Does the bios version have to do with the system seeing this hard drive? I've tested A01, A02, A05, A07, A08. No such luck with the hdd appearing.
I thought I'd have to adjust my sata speeds but sata 3 should be backwards compatible too.. I think the disk drive port was sata 2
Oh no, the dell charger is the one I have. Dell makes Alienware. If you want I can take a picture of my actual charger but that one is just like mine.
The ssd goes in the bottom with the main system hdd connector
The hdd is in the caddy and the little flap( dvd connector originally) I'm supposed to take the flap piece out of the DVD drive and put it into the caddy which I did. My caddy is the first one in the picture you posted not the 2nd. I then put my caddy and the connected flap into the same place the DVD slot went. The flap went in the same port as the dvd did, same everything except the hdd caddy replacing the DVDs drive.
You have a Desktop.
You unhooked the cable from the DVD player and removed the DVD player from you case. Then installed the Caddy where the DVD player was.
What cables did you hook to the Caddy after you installed it into your case?
Here is what I trying to find out.
Once you installed the drive into the Caddy and then installed the Caddy into the computer case (what cables did you use to hook all this up to your computer)?
I'm thinking somewhere their is a missing or poor connection or the Caddy is fubar.
I'm also wondering why go through this just to add a hard drive/ssd to their Desktop.
Maybe I don't understand what exactly you are trying to do. What is the desired end results?
Okay I think I got a better understanding.
You basically have a laptop put in a small Desktop case.
It surly isn't a Desktop from what I understand a Desktop to be.
