    Starting with the basics.......

    Are the drives being identified on a hardware level?
    There seems to be three possible different controllers that shipped with unit, are you CERTAIN the correct drivers (Nforce) are being used? It could be running any combinaton of the shipped cards, or even an aftermarket card.....

    Shipped cards for ML115 From HP's website:

    HP ProLiant Smart Array SAS/SATA Controller Driver for Windows Server 2003/2008
    HP 4/8 Internal Port SAS HBA with RAID and SCxxGe series HBA Driver for Windows Server 2003
    HP ProLiant 64-Bit/133-MHz Single/Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA and SCxxXe series SCSI HBA Driver for Windows Server 2003

    NVIDIA® MediaShield for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is the driver I downloaded
    When I boot the server the screen shows that it is a nvidia raid controller.
    In the raid controller screen it is showing that the array is healthy.
    I have downloaded all the drivers and am just going to have to ge through them one by
    one and hope that one will work
