Yep, 4300 and PERC means its a Dell.
OMG Dude, you got a Dell ! ! !
Unfortunately, the 4300 is one of Dells earlier attempts at making a real server and as such SUCKS ROYALLY
Start from square one.
Unless the controller configures all of the drives into an array, your OS will not see a thing.
Boot the server and wait to be prompted to hit CTRL - M
In the resultant menu, you should be able to create a new array/logical drive and initialize it.
Watch out the the menu items, the yes/OK prompt jump all over the from screen to screen with no consistancy.
you must create the Array, logical drive and initialize it before your OS will see anything.
Good luck!
