asked on installing win 2003 will not recognize raid 1 disks
I have a windows server 2003 with a raid contoller. I tried everything to recover the data, but it didn't work, so now I'm trying to reinstall the OS on the drives, but, when I boot to the windows server CD, it won't recognize the disks, it says there's no disks present. Any help would be much appreciated.

Try booting the Server using the PartedMagic, a Live Linux distro with very good hardware support and many tools you can use for recovery, like testdisk:

thanks for the help, none of those sites worked.
I actually found the CD with the driver, so I copied it on to a floppy and now I can install the OS.

I have a broadcom raidcore bc4852 and I can't find the windows server 2003 drivers anywhere.
I've already deleted the array, so I'm assuming it deleted everything from the drives, the OS, etc..., as it won't boot up at all. I even tried booting the drive without the raid controller, plugged directly into the motherboard's sata port, but it won't boot, it doesn't even recognize it.
