Default Computer Booting Problem

Well here it goes, I went to install another harddrive to backup stuff from my current harddrive before I reformat. The install went fine and everything until I booted it up.

It said it wasnt detecting any of my drives at all. I pushed the eject button on the cd drive to see if there was power and there wasnt. I unplugged the cd drive and other harddrive to see if it would just boot my old harddrive in which it didn't.

So I unplugged all the power connector thingies and plugged them all back in. Now my computer wont boot and I cant get anything to come up on my screen. I dont know what is wrong since I havent touched the video card.

Specs:
AMD 3200+
Gigabyte K8-N8NS Pro
Geforce 6800GT
Corsair PC-3200 512x2
WD200gig trying to connect WD80gig
and if it matters, 520watt Aspire powersupply (yes its on 115v)

and Thanks

If it's not detecting the drives, I'd check the data cables- unplug and replug them.

Also, check ALL of your power connections to make sure you didn't wiggle something else loose while you were messing around in there.

Could also be a dodgy PSU. Can you hear the PSU fan spin-up?
