Guys i just faced a new problem over the weekend. I had 2 x 160GB seagate SATAII hard drives in raid 0 for a while and they have been working fine.

I was try to overclock at FSB 450, then the system hanged did not post and strange beep came from the motherboard. Well after that i cannot install RAID, Motherboard is not reading harddrives in BIOS at all. Then i put the IDE drive and installed windows, plugged in the SATAII hard drives, installed drivers but now i can see the hard drives in the windows, even i can format them. The problem is now i cannot write on them, or install RAID in the BIOS.

Is the hard drive went bad, they are brand new only month old. Even though they are bad then i should not be able to format them or see them in the windows right?

I deleted the old RAID 0 i had on them in windows also. So what could be the problem.
 
Yes i reset the cmos or BIOS. It is MSI 975X Powerup Edition.

Is it looks like hard drive problem or Motherboard?

I changed the sata ports also to make sure, but no effect. I am going to try to use the Jmicron sata interface, to see. But i tried both hard drives on the other motherboard but they won;t even boot
