System specs are:
OS: Vista Ultimate 64bit
MB: EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz
Video Card: SAPPHIRE 100251SR Radeon HD 4870 X2
Memory: 2x OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
New Harddrives: 2 Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s in a raid0
PSU: ABS Tagan BZ Series BZ800 800W ATX12V / EPS12V
Now I've plugged in two IDE hard drives from my old computer to function as additional storage, and my bios will recognize them, but when I get into windows and try to access them, they do not appear. I've tried the Computer Management Tool packaged with Vista, but the HDD do not appear there either.
Additionally, the raid drivers for my motherboard cause my computer to crash after post, upon reaching the vista loading screen. The BSOD flashes too quickly to be able to read it. As a result I'm not using drivers for my raid that I'm aware of. But the computer functions just fine.
