DFT doesn't see my Hitachi SATA hard drives (2 drives in RAID1), in Toshiba Qosmio laptop. BIOS reports correct hard drives (200GB) but reports capacity incorrectly as 60GB (due to a hidden Toshiba partition that reports the size of the original hard drives, even though an Acronis backup was restored to the larger 200GB drive).

Is it the controller the Toshiba laptop uses that is making the hard drives invisible to hard drive diagnostics? Do I need to remove the hard drives from the laptop and connect them to another computer via SATA->USB adapter in order to test them?
