On my new build that still isnt working could I have fried my hdd if I had both the four pin power connector plugged in and the other power connector plugged in and turned on my computer?

Do you mean that you had two molex connectors plugged into your hard drive?

It's impossible to have 2 molex connectors in 1 HDD.

not if you used a special molex connector thats meant for fans, they have one on the otherside to hook another fan up to. But it's highly unlikely that this can happen.

If you could ellaborate on your problem, it may help us out.

I think he means the molex and the SATA power connector guys, seeing his sig says he has a raptor.
