You probably need to re-initialize the disk.
Put them on a PC and re-initialize them.

If you have a Linux PC you can use 
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdn"
the hdn being your Cobalt disk that you added to the PC.
Maybe hdd or hde

If you don't have a Linux PC then put the disk in a PC and boot from a DOS
disk, and run this little program. (wipe.exe) 
If you need wipe.exe send me an email off line and I'll send it to you!

Then put the disk back in the RaQ and apply the Restore CD.
This should bring them back.
