Of course your Mac is fine with your original HDD because OS X is stored in there.

Can you give us the exact model of the Crucial SSD you put in also do you have a SATA to USB adapter like this one: Startech 2.5" SATA to USB adapter if not you'll need it to prep the SSD manually.

Then it sounds like either the data cable is bad or the SSD you were trying was not compatible in someway. Often I see people forgetting to reformat their drive to GUID or they needed updated firmware on the SSD unit with this series.
