If they don't show up in POST (black screen with white letters before
Windows Logo with green or blue strobe light) then shutdown PC disconnect
power, properly ground yourself to the case with a wrist strap (static
discharge kills electronics), check non functioning drives for loose data
cable, and power cables, also where data cable (40 pin) connects to
mainboard. Replacing data cable is a good first (and cheap) step.
