    Alright my problem was that i had the jumper on master/slave but had taken the slave out.....well now that i got windows installed it locked up on the please wait windows screen after the moving blue bar screen. So i eventually had to restart and then it locked up....so i went to windows recovery and did a chkdsk and fixboot and it allowed me to login as Admin. But it was kinda laggy....Now it loads to the login screen but freezes right when it gets there. I am 99.9% sure it not ram....i know it aint mobo or processor....but i just trying a new hd so idk what could be the prob.
