I currently have 3 x 250GB hard drives in my rig all of which are using sata2 connections.

I have two hard drives i wish to add and one to come out (on its way out)

i hooked the two new drives up, one being a 250GB and one being 500GB using sata connections to each.

I booted up into windows and only two of the existing were shown and the other two were not.

The two new hard drives do have data on them already but how would that effect things?

any ideas to what i should do?
 
Are all 4 drives being detected by the system BIOS?

Are all the appropriate SATA ports enabled in the BIOS?

Are the correct drivers loaded for the various SATA controllers?

What is showing disk-wise in Device Manager?

What is showing in the Disk Management applet?
