Default SATA drives are Offline

Before installing Vista, I backed up all my necessary files onto 2 SATA
drives. installed Vista on my old IDE hard drive, and now I can't access
the SATA drives. They appear in my BIOS, and in the Disk Manager, but they
show up as Offline in the Disk Manager. When I right click on them, my only
options are to Convert to Basic Disk. But this will format the drives. How
can I read these drives and get my data?
