VSS Failed to make shadow copy with Event ID 12310 "Timed out" on SBS server 2003

Server specs:
Intel SSR212MC2R Storage server
Using onboard SATA RAID for OS, 2 x 120GB 2.5" Seagate HDs RAID1
8 x 1TB Seagate drives in RAID5 for storage on an SRCSAS144E Intel RAID Controller

Windows disk configuration
Disk0: OS Drive
Disk1: Storage array, dynamic volume of 6.5TB total space.

I would like to enable shadow copies for the data on Disk1, however, every time a shadow copy is attempted, I get this event in the Application log:
