No backups i guess?<br />
I am thinking your SCSI drives are in some sort of RAID config, which makes it a problem. &nbsp;If you have another of the same RAID card (Probably RAID 1 with a Perc 4/DI Raid Controller with 2003) in a working server you might make it happen. &nbsp;Make sure the drives are in the correct order.<br />
What OS is the server? Can you boot to Windows CD to run a repair?

At present when I boot the machine I get the below issue: The adapter has recovered but cached data was lost! Another company tried to reinstall the OS but it didn't work. I don't have another Server to utilise, only this machine.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
