Sorry, about my late response.
Rather than quoting everyone i'll answer it here.
Ram - I figured out one of the sticks was a cm out of the socket, and that like you stated, i didn't put it in entirely.
As for the hdd to ssd install process, i decided to just not attempt to break it untill the hdd completely dies on me, so instead i just put the ssd into my macbook pro. I spoke to my parents, and they said they would rather i wait till it's completely dead, instead of messing with it when it still works and potentially break something else in the process.
But for those that did comment and help me along the way, and even for those that came a bit late, i'm eternally grateful that you all were willing to try your best to assist me in my installation.
