I'm guessing that these are ATA drives connected to IDE
controllers. If that's the case, you might want to try the
following:

Go to Start -> Run and enter diskmgmt.msc in the Open box.
Click OK.
Do they show up in the lower section?
If they do, you will now need to partition and format these
drives.
Take a look here for more info:
