It is Raid 5 with 4 hard disk

Well the first thing it said to try was to replace the CMOS battery, did you do that yet?

Hello pjam,
I try to replace the CMOS battery, but it doesn't work.

I would ask Dell what they think of that procedure since you still have warrantee. It is unfamiliar to me. I know you can remove one hard drive and the raid will rebuild when it is replaced. Do you know which drive is the issue?

Fantastic.
You can also do a file run:
SFC /scannow with your CD in the drive to make sure you have all the corrrect windows files.

When the windows 2003 auto update with new service pack, the old driver may not work anymore.
The server should make it manual install the driver
