1.  CTRL-C indicates a SAS 5/6 card, not a PERC 5/6, which would be a CTRL-R. 2.  If you can see your drives in the System Setup F2, then you do not have drives attached to ANY RAID controller - the BIOS can only see drives attached to the onboard SATA ports. So, no, it does not sound like you have a PERC installed.  You could open your system to see where the drives are actually connected. 2003 is not seeing the drive(s) because it doesn't have the drivers necessary to talk to the controller ... you need to know which controller is managing your disks before you can load the correct driver to install Windows.
Hi, I have Dell PE 1950 that I'm suppose to configure RAID but it seem ctrl keys from BIOS going to RAID management is missing? How come? there's only ctrl keys ctrl-c for LSI Logic MPT SCSI setup utility but from inside I couldn't find any RAID options thus I couldnt initialize the two disk. Can you guys please help why? Does it mean I dont have RAID perc5i controller?:emotion-16:
