Yeah, all 3 Hard Drives are powered and have sata cables connecting them to the hard drive.
...My dad had this problem.
Did you plug in the sata power cables?
ah, the repair should take care of any damage from a bad image.
And programs? Its things like iTunes, MS Office, basic stuff like that that i need to get my computer running and to be actually useful.
so wait the installed OS system is from an image of a previous HDD? then that installation must have gone wrong at some point like you said the raptor was on its way out problems could have been caused in making the image of the OS.
plus you stil...
well i did install Win7 with only the OS drive plugged in. I did have to image the first hard drive with it on it and image it to another drive because the one i had (a 75GB raptor) was slowly dieing and i knew the signs so i did that before there...
Elaborate on the programs that you are attempting to run as you load up into windows 7 off the hard drives this leads me to believe that this is a software problem and not a hardware if windows 7 starts up correctly etc from the drives in question...
I posted a while ago about a hard drive format issue with Win7. It just turns out the Hard drive was un-initialized and i felt like an idiot cause i could of sworn i already did that. But now with my system (running win7 pro) has my OS HD (a 250GB...
Thats cool =) I didnt carve pumpkins this year.
I DID Dress up as a kind of steam punk style guy tho. I went trick or treating with my girlfriend and it was awesome. I had many people ask how old i was (im a junior in HS) and then went to two par...
I would have to go with Asus like many of you have.
My first build was with an Asus P5QL-Pro that i really liked. It fit the bill until the sata controller chip fried and my sata ports obviously quit working. I replaced that with a P5Q Deluxe whi...
i'd use a 3rd party utility for your terabyte drive

diskwizard is like getting a free acronis program :)
Format it from DOS
Maybe try another tool, like GParted or Partition Magic, and have a look it.
Also try connecting it to another computer, or through USB/eSATA.
its a custom built machine thats less then a year old. Brand new $130 Asus P5Q- Deluxe mobo with 2.66 core 2 duo and 4 GB of ram. I dont think thats limiting it = /
im still at a loss >.
Could also be a limitation of the operating system. It might not be recognising the drive properly. Either that or as dan recommended, probably BIOS.
its completely unformatted. I JUST opened the static bag that it came in from newegg. I cant access the drive at all cause it says that the drive needs to be formatted. Then i go to format it and it only allows 53.9 GB = /
