I've got several 250 GB Seagate drives that used to be in my HTPC RAID.
They've been replaced by 1 TB drives so now I'm looking to use them
elsewhere.

I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit which I just purchased on
one of those drives.  The drive detects perfectly fine in BIOS, has no
problems, but the Win 7 setup will not find it or show it as an option to
install to.  If I put another drive on that same exact connector/cable, it
detects it.

Is there something that the RAID adapter/software could have changed on the
drive to cause this?  When I migrated to the new RAID, I copied all the data
from the old RAID to the new one which was running on a new controller.  I
then just disconnected all the old 250 GB drives and put them in storage.
