Greeting Umar ( + )!( + ) Did you do all of the "OSX Software Updates" before doing anything else? If not then you should reinstall and do updates. If you are using a PCI card that lets you access SATA drives then there is a driver that you need to install into the OSX data base before you can access the drives. Check the manufactures WEB page for the drivers.
