    Try connecting them one by one. If you're using an 80-pin cable make sure the blue and is plugged into your mobo and that the device in the middle is the slave and the one on the other end is the master. Check your bios to make sure that the drives are being detected properly too.

    if you have recently installed a virtual drive clone alchol etc uninstall them then uninstall in cp the ide controller that your drives are on then reboot and should come back
    slow but sure,or is it sure but slow
