I felt so dumb once I figured it out There is a key sequence you push to get into the RAID controller. All you have to do then is configure your drive s in a RAID 0 and then initialize your disc s from that menu. All this is before you ever hit the Windows install disc. Once you do this and initialize the discs in that RAID utility then you will see your discs in the Windows install menu when booting from the Windows install disc. I went into the RAID config already, however i had three disks in the drive bays.
Two of the disks were set up in RAID1 configuration and the remaning disk had not been initialized, i didnt think this would make a difference! I removed the third disk and it worked! If i had set it up in RAID on its own i am sure that would have worked too, but yes, very silly!
As to removing the third drive - that should not make any difference. Chances are that drive was bad or had an existing recognized configuration on it. Browse Community. Turn on suggestions.

Even though the drive is now showing during the Windows installation, and even though it will allow me to format, create partitions etc, as soon as i select the drive and press next to start the installation i receive the following error message: "We could not create a new partition or locate an existing one.
Thanks in advance!! How do i begin to troubleshoot this? Also, it will only shot down if i login to windows server, if i just go into the bios and keep it running it will not shut down. When you do this, you will find the explanation of all three error codes, and instructions for resolving the problem.
You will find that all three errors indicate a loss of PSU redundancy due to a power supply failing to supply any power. Further, you will be referred to the section "Troubleshooting Power Supplies" on page When you actually go to that section you will see a short checklist which can be boiled down to: remove and reinstall the PSU, and if that doesn't work, replace the PSU.
You must also supply it with AC power, of course, but if you aren't experienced with servers it may not be obvious that you have to plug in both of them. But you still should check the manual for yourself, to learn what you can from it, and to see about any details that might have been omitted here in this brief guide to how to begin to troubleshoot the problem. Before you get too far into buying a new PSU, though, you should consider that this whole ancient system is unlikely to be worth the cost of a replacement PSU, pull any potentially useful components out of it, and send the server back to the recycling stream.
