Is there something I need to do to my 4 seagate Barracuda 7200.11's in order to re-use them in my pc after retirement from a ReadyNAS NV? My bios doesn't recognize them in my Dell XPS 8300. Have tried multiple SATA ports on the motherboard and so far no luck. Thanks.

Normally they won't show up in Windows until you delete the partitions and reformat them. Look in control panel\computer management and click on "disk management" See if the disks show up (with no drive letter).
