backup drive with W7 boot file is not recongized after installing SSD
Here is the story, I used to run 2 WD Caviar Black 1TB each, I decided to get a 128gb Intel SSD, put the other 2 WD drives over to SATA port 2 and 3 with SSD on port 1. I did not format the WD drives since they both have data on it, port 2 WD still has W7 installation on it.
When I started up after installing SSD, I went to BIOS to ensure everything is in working order, I noticed only 2 drives are detected, the SSD and WD on port 3. Tried several things like check connection, power connection, switched SATA cables, switched ports. Still no difference.
I went ahead and installed W7 on SSD, disk manager does not detect WD on port 2.
Is it because that WD on port 2 still has windows installation files? How can I fix this? I have critical data on there that I need to access to.
Thanks
