Just a question. Did you install the 3rd party SCIC driver during the windows installation?

If the answer is no your are not running a raid controller. Do to the fact that Windows installation does not requize a SCIC driver during the intial install and will stop the installation if the SCIC driver is not found. Stating "No Hard Drive Found for Installation."

Plus Most servers that have RAID setup will be enabled in through the BIOS and you can run an attroy setup and scan there.
