Only yesterday I bought two new 2GB Seagate drives and set them up as raid and installed lubuntu. It was working fine and there was no problem but today I made the very bad decision of swapping over the sata cables and connecting them to different sata ports and this seem to have made them undetectable to particularly any system.
I understand that once drives have been configured as Raid they don't show up in the Bios as Sata drives.
So on the linux system I set up yesterday they do not show up in the bios. I tried resetting the bios to factory settings, removing the battery, etc... I tried using the boot flash drive I used to install lubuntu. I get an error there is no file system to mount it and I only managed to boot like that once. The drives did not show up like that either once lubuntu was running.
Now I took the drives out and put them in a windows 7 machine. They do not show up in windows and do not show up in the other machine's bios either so I cannot reformat them.
Is there anything I can do?
