Hi, I'm new here just for this. There's so much information I want to give that I don't know where to start but here goes. I bought a sata kingston ssd to replace an older one I have and I had that and two "bad" hdd's, all of their data copied to the kingston. Everything was fine until today when I had the amazing idea of checking if the older drives worked. They did (but when I plugged the hdd's for some reason windows 8 started), but now when I try to boot into windows it detects the drive and not where windows is supposedly installed (I know a bit about computers but clearly not enough). It just shows the not boot drive detected black screen, it sometimes works when I swap which ssd I want to boot from but I need to go into the bios and tell it to boot from where windows is installed not the drive itself. It's not feasible to keep on doing that so I want to know if I bricked my computer by plugging some hdd's or if there's anything I can do to fix this. Any help is appreciated.
It's important to note that after I turn it off when it successfully boots, it immediately defaults to the first picture.
Here is when the bios doesn't detect windows:

Here is when it does after I switch to the other ssd (I switch it to first in the boot order but always start in second):
