I'm going to say it's safe to assume that these are internal drives? Also was there anything on the 500gb? And what OS are you running?

if there are bad sectors, use your computer to find and download Hiren's boot CD. Burn it onto a CD (of course) and boot with it...select hard disk tools and run HDD regenerator. It takes a while but it will do it's best to fix your disk. there are some other tools on hirens boot cd that u can use to see whats happening with your disk.

Another suggestion- Acronis is crap as can be; don't use it.
