Hard drive not found in windows

Hi All

I have three hard drives from which were used in a windows machine. The power supply went massively bang and no longer works. But since then I have tried the hard drives in another computer but they are not visible in windows and they don't show up in disk management. But i've also tried them under linux and they are visible there, but they I have to force the mount, which then allows me to access them and the information on them.

Does anyone know what I can do to make them visible under windows?

Many Thanks

Andy

Not to worry any more, the sata controller that the hard drive is attached to was disabled. Strange how it still worked in linux though!

Disabled how? Just curious.

bet it gave you quite a scare though lol

It's a dell dimension 5000 and the sata controller was disabled in the bios.
