If they are in raid mirror with hotswap config, win would only see one, of
about 111gb.
When you boot up is there any mention of raid / array on the screen prior to
win starting?
What does Disk Management show?
Fans: Depends on the type of connector the fan has, presumably a small mobo
connector?
Some fans can be connected to a pwr supply spare connector.

I was inspecting my compter trying to figure something out when i
realised that i have three 120 Gb hard drives. I had to maually remove
the hard drives to identify the capacity. I also realised that they
all have the same red connection made on the back. This connection
cable is pretty flat, with about 7 pins. However my computer is only
registering one of them, ie i only have a total of 111 Gb. Now my
question as you might have already guessed is how do i identify which
one of the hard drives is connected, or an even better question would
be, how do i connect them all so that i can use them.
This computer is used when i bought it, and i remember the seller
mentioning something about a raid configuration (2 hard drives in use,
and one for backup or something like that). The mother board had to be
replaced, and i also recal the person who fixed it mentioning that the
configuration isnt valid anymore. So taking all those factors into
configuration, would anyone know what to do? How to tell what
configuration there in? which ones are used, and which ones arent? and
how to connect them all?
I have another question as well though not as important. The case has
four fans, and when i changed my mother board one of the fans cannot
be connected, because all the fans are in use. My question is that is
there any way i could connect the fan to provide added circulation,
even if the temperature pin isnt being used?
thanks
