I seem to have lost a HDD

I have 3 x 320gb seagate 7200.10's. I decided to setup raid 0 for the first time on 2 of them. I transferred all important data that i wanted to keep on the 3rd drive then removed it from my pc to make sure i didn't accidently delete it. I then setup raid 0 on the other 2 drives formatted them and reinstalled xp. All seemed to go well. I powered down, put 3rd HDD back into pc and it isn't showing in windows at all. How do i get it to show up? What have i done wrong? :confused:

Please help, it has every single bit of data that i need on it

No idea i'm afraid. I'm not too clued up on these things. I really shouldn't of tried to setup raid :rolleyes:

How do i check if they are all on the NF4 controller?

Ty for help btw

I only enabled raid on 2 of the sata ports, wasn't sure if this was right or not so i went back and changed it a few times but the drive still wouldn't show
