I just installed Windows 7 and in the process moved some of the hard drive connectors around and when I boot up my computer sees my two 500 MG Hard drives plus my C drive and offers to let me boot from either one of them ...then once my computer is running and I go to my computer I can't see either drive ... it used to show me the two 500 mg drives as 1 Tb drive ...I understand next to nothing about RAID drives but I desperately need to access them can anyone help? you can access my computer and look around for yourself if you want

Don't know that, but 7 doesn't have a problem with NTFS partitions, so some software can be ruled out. I would run WinUpdate and reboot until the OS was convinced it's happy (you may have done that) then look towards software RAID on the board. Your board could be looking for the array in all the wrong places, if you can replace the cables to their original positions that might be it...

Hoped for a little more detail, but I've seen similar. First thing I would try is a linux live-cd. If that recognizes the array then it's a Windows problem. Next, move a few cables around, if neither linux or windows recognizes it then, then it's a hardware problem.
