OK about two days ago my power supply died, i got it replaced but now the mainboard doesnt recognise any of my drives, bios is working so i dont think the mainboard got fried. Could the power supply have serged and fried my drives??? If anyone has any idea, thoughts, or help plz let me know, i sure as hell could use it.

What Operating System are you running?
Have you looked in Device Manager and/or updated drivers? Expand the complete tree and note any exclamation or question marks.
Have you tried removing the drives from Device Manager and then rebooting and let Windows detect them?
Did you try installing your drives in another computer?
