I’ll give you a few tips. Try those HDD’s via a portable case with USB to the machine. If they work, then open the Mac and check the motherboard for corrosion or burnt components. If you do find anything, change the components using a schematic. Then clean it all well with isopropyl alcohol. It could also be a data line that has fried and might need a jumper cable to some component on the board. I strongly recommend that you Install OSX on your DVD to SATA adapter, since an SSD is much faster, then configure it to run from there as follows:
Reboot the Mac and after the startup chime hold down the OPTION key during boot until you see the boot selection menu. Click the external volume to boot from it.
External drives typically are shown with an orange icon, with their interface printed on the icon itself. Similarly, CD’s, DVD’s, and the SSD via DVD to SATA adapter are shown with a disc icon.
If you can’t fix the issue on the board, then you will need to start using the HDD via USB or the SSD via DVD adapter with a portable case from now on. You choose and can even change it at any time.
I hope this helps you. Let us know!

Your systems series: MacBook5,1
If you look up your exact system you'll see your systems HD SATA port is only SATA II (3.0 Gb/s).
You do need to make sure the drive you put in is able to run at this slower I/O speed. Most drives today are fixed SATA III (6.0 Gb/s)
Can you give us the make and models of your drives you are trying to install so we can aim you to be best choice.
If you are seeing a folder Icon with a blinking folder you then need to install the OS.
