So I just installed Windows 7 on my SSD and then moved my 2 mechanical HDDs from my old rig to my new one for music and movies. Only 1 of them is detected by the OS, even though both of them show up in device manager. They were originally together as a RAID 0 array but I formatted the whole thing on my new rig as it said I could not use it without formatting first.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Did you assign a drive letter to it? Check Disk Management.

For some reason the drive letter D is not available in the drop down list, even though none of my drives are assigned that letter

it might be your cd drive? and i would not worry, any letter is fine
