Voila! There you are!

Well, a couple months ago.. my secondary harddrive stopped working. It really pissed me off but just recently my primary hard drive stopped working. It jiggled loose for some reason...

So I boot up my computer and go to the "My Computer" menu... and bam there it is. My sec. drive is there! I double click to try and open it and it says that it needs to be formatted. So I click okay, then it tells me windows cannot format the drive. The window then closes. I have formatted my primary drive since the secondary drive stopped working and I continued to use my computer without it.

Would this make a difference?

Also, when I had them both up and running, they both were set in a "RAID" function. Whatever that means. But I prefer them not converged as one HD so disregard that, I don't want raid again.

These are the disk models:
Both of them are Maxtor 6 Y200M0 SCSI Disk Device (What windows shows me when I ask for disk properties)

What do I do to make it work?

One probly failed and the other si gonna fail soon too....RAID setups shorten your comps life a bit (I think)

Wow I didn't think this would be such a hard question to answer, I'll take it to another hardware forum.

I'm sorry, but it seems you did not read it correctly. I never stated anything related to the age of my HD's. My story is straight, can you help me now?

Just in case, the HD's are about 3 months old.
