Hello everyone. Forgive me for the formatting, as I'm typing this all from my phone, and am worried a bit. Earlier today, I was doing some internal maintenance on my PC, and starting clearing dust from the inside. One thing led to another, and I spent most of the day re-cabling the system to make it look neater. Now, though, the computer will not see the HDD as a boot device, causing it to stop working. I've confirmed it's not the cable itself, as I plugged in my CD drive using the same SATA data and power cable, and it shows up when connected. When I first attempted to power on, I used a Type 4 cable for the hard disk instead of a SATA, and I'm worried this might have fried the connector board.
For specs, it's a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit running on an Asus Z97 Pro motherboard with 16GB RAM and a Nvidia Geforce GTX 960 2GB graphics card. I can confirm it was all working earlier today. Now though, I think my fiddling might have caused me a lot of headache. Also, as a request for information, if the connector board is fried, how can I salvage it? Could I buy a new board somewhere, or try something else? I have an image of the system from about 2 weeks ago on a backup drive through Macrium, and not many changes have occurred since then. I don't have a recovery media with me, but I could make one on another computer. Sorry for the rambling, but this computer means a lot to me, and I'm freaking out.
