Adaptec has been like a turkey shoot, dont know what responce you will get. And depending on SN they know what OS was shipped. So if it was shipped with v4 they will give you a link to the updater some times. The other are told their unit is past support and get nothing. If yours is v3. Tell them you are replacing a failed drive and would like the latest v3 (3.4.805 or 807) for LBA Support. If v4 you need to tell them you need AD 2003 support. But without a bootable drive all this is mute. We only know the hack way for installing the os. The factory way/method we do not know or have. Adaptec will sell you a HD with the OS loaded for a price. Many IT departments have these for quick repair. And the interprized hd are for heaver/server use.

SnapAppliance and Adaptec has always had "You need to send it in for repair". And if you ignor all the messages telling you have a problem when you loose a drive. You passed on the home/office repair. Factory service will be required on some models. It's amazing how may IT Admin's ignor the problem. Now if you picked up or had one given to you after the drives were removed. You will need to be paient while your searching for these files. Other have been sucessful using BT, but that is kind of like the www underground. Others have not.

We are monitored by adaptec/SnapAppliance by the notice at the top of the thread. So we have to play by the rules.
