Question Server hard drives issue

I don't really know who to ask. I just bought a used server...its great, fast processor, lots of ram, it has 3 hot swap hard drives in it…. so I get home and I plug it in, add mouse and monitor to see what's on it…I go to "my computer"….I only see one hard drive… But there are three in the server....I swap them out with other physical hard drivers but they still don't show up in my computer....
Please advise how to get to the other hard drives. It runs on Windows XP. I've never used a "server" before.... I really just want this to run as a super fast desktop computer anyway... I want to be able to access all three hard drives in the computer.

Re: Server hard drives issue

On the server when you go through the Bootup Process you should see something stating Raid Array detected (or Similar) and it may say something like Raid1, Raid0, Raid5,mirrored?
