Old Gigabyte 775 socket type motherboard wont boot past bios

I tried multiple Sata ports just to make sure none were defective. So the WD drive has a Old windows 10 install from a laptop i used to use a while back just re purposing it for this build. TO make sure there was no problem with the drive I put it in my pc with the Same SATA cable just to be sure and it worked perfectly, ( didnt try to boot from it just access it) I want to put Linux on the drive but since it wont boot from the usb (very weird) I havnt got that far.
Wait.. a laptop install? Those can be weird sometimes. Manufacturers have done odd things with laptop OSes in the past. Still wouldn’t explain the USB stick issue though. USB might not be set as bootable. Drive boot paths on 775 were generally manual. Had to be set “try booting from this, then this, etc..”
