Thank you Todd because what you said ( If drives are showing in a ready status, that indicates no control RAID configuration. ) I was able to know the raid configuration on the Dell Power Edge 2800 server I was working on, is corrupt and not working, I had to write new configuration to be able to see the drives, and boot to windows server 2003, at first I was afraid to loose the data or drives, but then I followed the bottom key instruction ( it could of been written better) and it worked, you have to know the old setup, server I was working on had 2 drives on raid 1 and 3 drives on raid 5 for data, the owner had no clue on what kind of raid server had, since raid controller showed me 2 drives are on channel 0 and 3 drives on channel 1, it made sense to me that they were setup on raid 1 and raid 5, so I selected the first 2 drives on channel 0 then hit enter selected raid 1 option then enter till finished, next selected 3 drives on channel 1, hit enter then selected raid 5 and enter till finish, exited raid configuration selected yes to save and rebooted, then windows logo showed up, sweet, 9-16-2014

Does it say 0 Logical Drives or 0 Physical Drives?
