    Hello, I just re-installed Windows onto my computer but it only shows the hard drive that windows is running on. I have two others that are not even seen, does anyone know how I can fix this?

    go to control panel -> Administrative Tools -> computer management -> disk management

    you should see any unformatted hard drives here, do they get detected during start up or in BIOS?

    Alright, I figured out the problem, but now I have another. When I restarted my computer, it wouldn't boot from my hard drive. It says CD Boot Failure: Please Insert System Start-up Disk. I have told my computer to boot from the Hard drive on every single spot. So I don't know where it is getting the CD Boot. I have also tried putting the CD into the drive bay to see if it would work but it didn't; I got the same error again. Any ideas? Please help, Thanks
