k guys, i'm real confused.

I took out the hard drive, and the power supply, and had tried parts in another computer, had no luck, so I wanted to put it back together. Now I cant figure out what ribbon has to plug to the HD and to the motherboard. I google images but they only show side views. Can someone tell me where to plug these back in

TIA

Hi, I dont have the motherboard manual, these are computers that someone just built for me and then some I got from friends of friends and stuff.

If you see my other post youll see whats been happening, basiclly Computer A would just randomly shut off, so I thought it was the power supply, changed that, and it still did it. I took that HD out and connected to another computer to try n get my pics off of it. Everything seems to load fine when I did that, but not able to find the pics. So I wanted to just put the computers back together and for some reason its saying floppy disk error and shutting off, like I did something wrong. (when I say floppy disk error, I mean on computer B, the ones I took parts from that was working fine)

I dont understand why the computer A just runs for a few then shuts down. It dont even give an error msg or anything.
