Hi all,
i have a computer with the p5ad2-e premium and 2 seagate sata hard drives. teh computer has small business server 2003 installed and RAID 1 setup.
i want to format the hard drive and do a clean install of server sb 2003.
windows setup does not see the drives.
they do not show up bios (all the ide are not detected - other than the dvd rom). i have read that there should be a sata drive in bios but its not there.

the settings in the bios appear to be correct under the advance/
how do i format and do a clean install now?

thank you all for suggestions and comments.
