hmmmm.

First of all go into your BIOS and check that your HDD are activated and the boot order is correct. If the settings are correct it could be a couple of things. The fact that the HDD's are not being detected tells me that either the HDD's are not powered or that the information isnt being received from the HDD's. The solutions for these examples would be a new power supply or IDE/sata cables (respectively). A more serious problem could be that your motherboard is kaputt.
