This is an older Dell Dimension desktop pc. It is running a RAID configuration with 2 drives. When I try to do the repair function in the recovery console, the hard drives do not show up in the MAP commmand. Also they are not listed in the Windows setup. However, they do show up in the BIOS, but not available in the boot sequence.
I am not that familiar with RAID, are the drives fried or is the system not able to recognize b/c of the RAID?
Help!!!

I'm guessing your array is degraded or failed. Boot into the RAID bios and see what the status is on your array. If it's degraded, you need to repair it. If it's failed, you need to rebuild it.
