Ok, so i installed my new 74gb Raptor tonight and installed windows on it. I hooked up my 2 old IDE drives that have tons of data on them. At first they showed up fine in My Computer but once I installed something (not sure what) they disapeared. If i goto Disk Managment, its shows the drives as "not initilized"... WTF? When i try initializing one my pc Blue Screens?... what am i doing wrong here?

Also, it takes the PC forever to boot with the raptor, even with it set to boot first in bios. I have raid disabled and the raptor plugged into SATA4.

Any clues here?
