Anyone care to explain in depth as to why this worked and what was wrong before?

probably a loose cable.

yea, generally replugging in things fix everything, LIKE MY RAM, fucked around with my computer for hours before reseating the ram and the comp ran like a cheetah

Loose cable, worn contacts on the SATA port, or it just might be some dust who knows. I would probably say its the loose cable though.
