I'm putting together my HP Pavilion after using some of its parts. However when I turned it on it said boot drive error. I do not remember which of the 2 go with which drive as there are 4 each labeled p3,p4. P5,6. I don't know which ones I'm supposed to use.
 
Solution
power cables don't matter as long as the drive gets power. Now the data cable (the sata cable) matters be sure to plug it intoe the correct sata port on the motherbd.
