hard drives not detecting

Go to solution Solved by Captain_WD,

i have 3 hard drives on my computer A. 250 GB B. 500 GB C. 3TB

so today in morning we had a power failure when i was sleeping and my ups also dried out and computer got off.

now when i woke up and started my computer the last partition in my 3 TB partition was gone so restarted the computer and then whole drive was gone.

so i restart it again it wont boot. it shows all 3 hard drives are there in bios.

i tried replacing sata ports still it wont boot.

any suggestion what might have happen?

 

Hey mihir,
 
I would suggest trying to run your system on its bare minimums with only the boot drive attached (having the full specs would be helpful).
Also you can take the three drives to an already working system, connect them internally or externally and run a diagnostic tool to check their status and if they have failed or jsut the partitions have gone into RAW format. I would recommend using the tools provided by the manufacturer as they know the firmware best. 
What are the drives' brands and models?

go run disk management in windows, it will show you the status of each hard drive. Lets start from there.
