I only had one ribbon cable but it did have 3 different colors of connectors. That's the one I used.

I have the drives installed but now the machine keeps trying to boot from the old hp m380n system drive (I think). A message comes up that says the disk is bad, but I don't know if that means it's trying to read a BIOS from it (and really hosing up since that's from an hp machine) or whether it means that the operating system isn't what it wants, or maybe even that the disk drive is physically messed up.
