#1: The HDD needed to be formatted for GPT not MBR.

So yeah. One operational system, at my service. Now I get to figure out how to transfer my old files from my dying HDD (it locks up after 15 mins or so) onto the new one. I also get to figure out how to pull my old Windows product key over so that I don't have to pay for it.

On the plus side, the new one is sturdier, and so far more reliable with it's wireless signal.

I think you're twisted up on which HDD I'm using, though. The new one is what I had to format as GPT. The old one gets recognized without a problem, but it locks up after 15 mins.I'm not here anymore.
