Default Re: SNAP4500 Not Booting - Begging for some help!

Okay - We have migrated the services to our SAN and have retired the SnapServer. I of course claimed it and now would like to wipe it and install a different OS (I'm looking to be cheap or/preferably free). I have a copy of MS Server 2003 Standard from my school and was thinking about installing it.

I notice that when the device boots, it loads what looks to me like a SCSI adapter? Are the IDE drives RAIDed through some sort of adapter? Is there a way to remove the RAID without booting to GOS? I see says it uses SIL0680 ATA/133 Controller, but I don't see how I can interact with this chipset. Some other SIL devices offer the option of working with them via a keyboard command like CTRL+F4 and up popups a like GUI interface.

Replacing the battery did not work - but I appreciate the idea - would not have thought of that myself.
