I have a desktop running windows seven with 3 hard drives. a friend of mine set them up for me since i don't know TOO much about computers. recently i tried to replace the CD drive and in the process my two backup drives came unplugged. when i plugged them back in and when i turned on my computer i couldn't access any of the files on them. In My Computer they are now both called A'ate and are the E and F drives. i don't know what letters they were before, but when i try to access either of them i get an error that says they are not accessible. They are both Western Digital Caviar SE drives, and my main drive is a Caviar Blue. there is an HDD cable running from the motherboard to both backup drives. I have no idea how to set up a hard drive or even if that's what i need to do. But i have(or had) upwards of 16GB of very important files on these drives, and i cannot afford to lose them. any help is extremely appreciated.

I don't mean to be rude but i have no idea what any of that means. As i said, i don't know too much about computers.
