All the hard drives need to be detected. If one of the disks is not showing up - unplug it and replug it back in and see if it shows up.

If the hard drive is not being detced by BIOS (when another one is) then the drive is damaged and has to be replaced.
I do not think you can back up the data on that drive - unless you have the expertise and tools to physically open and replace the parts of the drive.
