This summer I upgraded to an intel 2.26 cpu and an MSI 645MX2 LRU motherboard. I have 4 hard drives and a Promise controller. These hard drives are all 7200 rpm with 2m cache. Three are Maxtor and one is IBM.

I then Loaded Windows XP professional.

Recently, when I boot, my last two hard drives aren't recognized by Windows as existing.

I have tried everything including having my hard drives checked at the local computer store.

They say the hard drives are Okay.

Any suggestions on how I can get the missing hard drives to show up back in my system so that I can use them and the data there?
 
are they detected in bios? are they in dev manager? are they in disk management?


If they squeeze olives to get olive oil, how do they get baby oil?
