It's very very peculiar that you would have 2 known good WD green drives working fine on XP and both suddenly can't be found on Windows 7. One going bad maybe, but 2 simultaneously??????
Try the WD drive diagnostics.
Have you tried connecting them to other ports?

My suggestion is unplug the drive you just installed Win 7 on, plug in the one with XP and boot on it retrieve your data to a safe place then unplug it plug the Win 7 drive back in go to disk mgmt delete the volumn and rebuild it then transfer your data back
