Hi Viriatus, welcome to the Forum.

Assuming you have a set of Acer recovery DVDs, this website explains how to recover your computer. It is fairly detailed so you need to scroll through to find what you are looking for. There is also a chapter selector near the top of the web page.

Only one hard drive should be connected to the motherboard when you are installing the Operating System, as you have discovered.

You did well to work out what the trouble was & glad to hear you seem to have it all working again.
