It was working find a few hours ago...

Ok I'll start form the start.

I had raid 0. It was being really slow and crap and laggy.

So I took the hdds out and stuffed them into another computer so I can copy everything of mine I had stored over to these hdds.

After many hours of waiting and copying I finally get my computer back together.

Boot it up... Only 2 hdds??? ***?

What the hell is going on? Don't tell me I just copied half my stuff onto a hdd that was on its last leg?

Make sure its enabled in the BIOS and in the boot order.

Also go to disk manager.
Win7- Control Panel>Admin Tools>Computer Management>Disk Management and make sure its initialized and has a letter assigned to the drive.

*Also,if the HDD was bricked it would make some sort of bad sound,two of mine failed before and they made un healthy sounds lol.

I will check that now! I don't have windows installed though. But I'll stick it into another PC to check later on.

EDIT: This one didn't make any sounds, it should of been 100% ok.

EDIT:EDIT: Oh and I'm seeing the HDDs in the windows install screen. Its not showing up in there.

EDIT:EDIT:EDIT:!! Oh and it does show up in the bios. That is all. Have not checked with another computer yet.

If the RAID 'controller' on the other computer isn't exact/very-similar it likely isn't going to function.

I didn't have a raid controller and I'm sticking it all back into the same computer.

It works on other computers anyway so I think its fine?

I'll just install windows and deal with it from there.

Did you make sure a drive letter is assigned in DISK management?
