I do believe they were sATA yes.
Right, I was trying to connect a sATA power cable in to the space of an old IDE connection...as you can see, the old one is long, the newer one is short, so I was moving it about in the space, trying to get it to work!! And the blue spark went and it all died.
With a blue spark there is definitely more than a simple cable that went to shit.
I've heard people having a blue spark, and it was the PSU.
Oh I see, thanks for the info. How bad, though... ...computers and such stuff are so delicate.With a blue spark there is definitely more than a simple cable that went to shit.

I'll see if I know someone with a spare PSU that I can borrow, or some form of tester etc.
Is there any way of powering up the HDD without the pc actually running? So I can test if it's dead or not?
But if he was plugging the wrong type of power from the PSU in then that spark most likely fried the HDD.

Well if you just attach it to someone elses PC they can boot their windows and then just browse your HDD like an external drive (so to speak) to see if your files are still there, if thats what you mean anyway.

MY MICROPHONE ONLY RECORDS INTO LEFT CHANNEL
HOW AM I FIX THIS
Yeah, I knew that option, but I meant is there anyway I could get it running without viewing it on a pc, just powering it up so I know it's working...
Like switching on a pc without switching on the monitor...
If not, then I'll just have to do it the other way. The trouble is, finding someone unselfish enough for me to take the computer apart and install stuff into it, promising them that I won't break theirs too.
I know you think I'm a bellend, but I expected something more creative from you.
