hard drive recognition


We have been given a computer and are having problem recognizing the hard drives - When we go to install windows by booting from the CD, it says that it can't find the hard drives.
We have an Adaptec AIC-7896 SCSI BIOS v2.57s2b3.
Do we need drivers?
We have 3 hard drives that are removable.
Not sure if you need any more information, but if anyone could help that would be great.
Thank you

USB? SATA? IDE? - are the jumpers set correctly?
Do you see the drives at boot up or in the bios?
