EDIT wtf!

so with this fresh clean install on my new hdd done, then after i finnish backing up from the finnal hdd i shut down the computer, unplug the hdd turn it back on and now it tells me the MBR is missing, WHY GOD WHY?! how do i remove the second hdd safely?
its a legit download copy from a pay site, and i have a legit code for it.

no matter what i do i cant get to the windows install screen, till now, i reconnected one of my broken hdd this time in sata slot(1) and the new hdd(which i cant accesses any more seems something in the boot is damaged and i cant get windows 7 to load from disk to fix it or even for mat it) and put the new hdd in sata slot(3) finnaly got it into windows setup, formated and is reloading windows 7 for the umm 5th time then i have to reconnect the old broken hdds transfer my backup files from them, again, then do all my settings, again, and i hate to say this, i kinda wish i was conntent being a mac noob with weeks like this one. oh well so long as its only once a year as usual it will keep me sharp.

lets just say for now this issue is still not closed. i have only been finding ways around the actual problem of not being able to swap sata ports, i had the same problem with windows 7 on my old hdd as well.
