One week ago, I wanted to copy my Windows 8 from a 1 gig WD sata drive to my intel 525 120 GB msata drive to speed it up, not enough room so I purchased a Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB, turn the computer off, switch power off in back, replaced msata, turn back on within 30 seconds received a message catastropic electrical failure, turn computer off, ordered new power supply, install and still no boot, so I buy a new WD hard drive, install and nothing, unable to find operating system and a few other messages, I had left in a WD 750 sata, so I put the Windows 8 install disk in, comes up and it doesn't see any drive other than the new Samsung SSD, I install Windows 8, works great, then I removed the WD 750 and it won't boot again, even after putting it back in. I went to YouTube and ran across a vid of a guy who went through how to deal with a locked drive, took me about 30 minutes but it worked, it boots up to the SSD, did that catastrophic electric failure burn up my SATA connections? It did fry 3 drives, one was brand new..........I also ordered a new motherboard, never had anything like this happen....
