Sorry for the long post :(
I have 7 hard disks, all SATA
3 - are a hardware based raid 5 array
4 - are a raid-5 dynamic volume.
All disks are intact no damage.
Dynamic volume was used 2 hours ago, no issue
I wanted to load windows 7 on it to see how it would perform on this machine.

Anyone know why when I go to my computer I can't see my IDE 40 gig hard drive?

Please help I have backed up files and folders on that 40 gig and need to access it!
Thanks
