Help! I have completely lost two hard drives

I was running Vista Ultimate and tried Acronis v10 to make a clone
copy of the C: drive. The result was terrible. Both drives became
unusable. My BIOS won't even recognize the presence of either drive,
whether I mount them individually or together now. Nor can I install
XP on either drive now.

Can anyone suggest something I can try in order to make the drives
usable again? I don't care if I lose what is on them. I was just
experimenting anyway. But, I hate to lose the drives.

Thanks

Sorry gecko, I did not realise you asked your questin in english language
and consequently answered in dutch ( perhaps because of the sun shining that
much to-day!) and thanks Gerard Bok to translate on my behave
