These are good suggests!! I can see the drives in Device Manager, but can't see them in Drive Management. If I check the properties of them in Device Manager & change a setting & click "OK", then the drive gets the yellow "!" over it's icon. I hope this may shed some light on things. None of my apps can see them. I checked the bios & they show up there as well as when it is booting up. So it appears to be some sort of Windows issue!!
Thanks for the help!!
