Reformatting an Array

Dear Experts,

I have an older Power edge 4300 that is running Windows 2000.  It has a ton of hard drive space and I want to utilize the space for storage.  I was thinking it would be best to "nuke" the bad boy and install 2003 server standard.  What I have not done is reformat an array.  I can get the drivers for the the array controller.  My question, is there anything I should be carefull with here or any tips you can give me on the process?

Thanks

Could I boot to the 2003 cd and then have it reformat the existing array, such as I do with the XP cd?  The existing partitions are fine I just want it to be clean for the install.

Awsome!
I wanted to try this before I issued points but I have run into some snags.  Thanks for the input and patients.
I just got into a place to do this.  Can I still issue points?
Hi ReginaldSMeyer
yes you can still issue the points if any of the experts comments have helped
