Hello,

If all your HDD's are SATA, there should be no problem to connect them to the new motherboard. Of course, there is a minimal chance that your old operating system will work with your new setup, so you should reinstall the OS.

They "don't appear" where? In the BIOS? In Windows Disk Mgmt? In Windows Explorer? If the problem is only in Windows Explorer, you may just need to assign a drive letter in Windows Disk Mgmt.
