    New OS drive but cant see old RAID drives


    Hello,

    I installed a new OS drive and reloaded programs.

    I am now unable to access a pair of RAID drives. They show up in BIOS but not in explorer once I login to Windows. How do I get access to these drives?

    I still have the old OS drive, didn't format it. I can access if I boot from it.

    I'm using Windows 7 on a custom built machine.

    Thanks
    Zach

    Have you installed the RAID drivers?
