I accidentally messed around in the bios of my computer, and I think I accidentally formatted both of my harddrives by converting them to RAID?, I've since deleted the raid profiles and the bios does have them listed in SATA devices yet I can't boot them, and they don't show up in the boot menu.

I have no idea how to fix this.

I plugged in a usb and it registers as a bootable device (has windows on it), but it won't actually boot once selected.

Hi there Francisco_7,

You can set your BIOS to defaults and see if the drive will get recognized. Check this out: http://www.howtogeek.com/131623/how-to-clear-your-computers-cmos-to-reset-bios-settings/
In case you have wiped the drives in some way, you can really expect your system to boot properly.
My suggestion would be to access the drives with some data recovery tool for DOS mode and recover at least some of the data.

Let me know in case you have some more questions,
D_Know_WD :)
