Neither SATA drive being found by Windows 7 Pro
I have a Windows 7 (Professional) PC with a 256 GB SSD, a DVD drive
and an external USB 3.0 1 TB HDD.
I am trying to connect a couple of 3.5" SATA drives from older machines in order to save the files from them. They are:
- 8 TB WD 'WD Gold Datacenter Hard Drive'
- 80 GB WD 'WD Caviar SE'
Neither can be seen in Windows Disk Management console when they are connected using the DVD drive SATA cables,
whether at startup or while Windows is running.
There are no failure messages that I am aware of.
What could be wrong?
Edit:
I used an external USB SATA enclosure and Windows can see a 'USB to SATA Bridge' in the list of systray USB devices. Disk Management sees it as unallocated but refuses to allow it to be initialised.
I open up diskpart in command line and I can select the drive (it's listed as online with correct capacity) but when I try the detail disk command diskpart crashes. If I view the Event Viewer the Error event is:
VDS fails to write boot code on a disk during clean operation. Error code: 8007045D@02070008
Anyone have any idea what's gone wrong?

Does BIOS/UEFI see them? Have you tried different ports, cables? Different OS? (like live CD Linux).

Does BIOS/UEFI see them? Have you tried different ports, cables? Different OS? (like live CD Linux).
