probably your lights showing hd activity, power on led etc..(twisted wire)

Just make sure the ribbon (gray wire aboue 2.5 inched wide is plugged into each hd, then.. aswell as the power-WITH the red cord facing in toward ribbon. Then check your bios maybe it is disabled fr some stupid reason.. good luck

Look for devices, or something of the sort, and it will say enable or disable on the side (all bios;s are different).. Also make sure your 40 pin ribbon is plugged in all the way.
