Sure will, aint that what you want? you have already formatted once right? Do this then....

I have 3 hard drives, 2 of them are not recognized by windows and they are loaded with files that I would like to keep. I am now running XP pro sp2 on the third drive which is the only drive I formatted.

Can you switch them to cable select? Do they have power? Jumped right? IDE securely connected?

My entire system was working prior to the install. All I did was unplug the power leaving the cables on as I've done in the past. After windows installed I shut down plugged in power to drives and booted up. For one more time I will shut down and check all connections and jumpers but I don't think those are the problems. Let you know soon

Before clicking del to enter the bios, the black screen shows the scsi drives and in the bios it shows the 40 gig that I'm on now and the 80 gig which I can't access. No improvement after checking cables, etc.
