Hello derick,
The disks can be made online by using diskpart utility
- Open a command prompt->type diskpart
-Inorder to list the disks in the system type: list disk
-Note down the number of the disk that you want to make online
-Select that disk to operate upon, For eg:, if the disk number is 1, type: Select disk 1
-Now that particular disk will be selected as teh active disk. If you type "list disk" command once more, you can see a * symbol on the left side of the selected disk
-Inorder to make the selected disk online type : online disk
- If the disk is made online, you will get a message that the operation is completed successfully
