Dynamic Disks not being detected

Hello,

I have a machine that had XP Pro where I had 1 Drive with my OS & then
2 additional where in Windows I set them up as a RAID 0 Dynamic Volume.
I now formatted that OS Drive & installed Vista Ultimate 64bit. When I
plug those other 2 Dynamic Volume Drives in, the BIOS detects them but
when I boot into Vista it doesn't detect them. They are also not
showing up in Disk Management. What can I do to get them to show up, I
have lots of data on there.

Just in case, those 2 are Hitachi 1TB HD
Motherboard is EVGA 780i
CPU is QX9650
Memory is 4GB Crucial 1066 DDR2

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Jeff

Hi,

Tried using 'import foreign disks' in disk manager yet?

What type of connection is being used? You may need an appropriate driver
for it.
