How are the undetected drives connected? Are they connected to the
motherboard IDE controller, or an add-on card?

If they are connected to the mb controller, what have you tried to
get the BIOS to detect them? Does your BIOS setup have a detect IDE
drives section? Is your BIOS set to auto-detect your drives? Have
you followed the instructions for your BIOS to properly set up the
drives?

Why do you need the BIOS to detect them?
