I bought a new case, Xclio Touch 767, and got a new ThermalTake 430w power supply for it. It won't boot, gives me the undetected boot drive, restart with proper boot drive or media error. I did notice my old case had some four wires that plugged into the newer HDD (I have a SeaGate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB) that were colored red, white, green and black. These wires aren't in the new case, and I can't boot the computer. I pulled these wires out of the old case, and they won't fit to my newer HDD.
Motherboard and processor is from Asus Essentio CM5570, GPU is GeForce GTX 650ti.
Well I don't know about those other cables, but that HDD should just take a sata data cable and sata power cable and you should be good.
Red, White, Green and black power wires? What the hell kind of shit PSU did you have before, those are non-standard colors for power wires in computers.
Hard drives have two types of power connectors. Older ATA-100/133 drives (ones with ribbon cables) generally used 4 pin molex connectors that have +12v (Yellow) wire, two grounds (both black) and one +5v (red) wire:

Newer drives that use SATA generally use the SATA power connector, which in addition to the four wires above, it has an additional +3.3v (orange) wire:

Why didn't you just call it Molex? It's still used you know.
EDIT: LEAVE ME ALONE. Didn't notice. I'm tired, it's morning.
