Aaron,
  Good to hear!  Odd about the partition table.  Is there something in
the bios that prevents partition table modification?  You said it was a
server system, right?  I've heard of such things, but never seen one
personally.  What kind of disk controller are the drives on?  (Make &
Model if you have it.)  It's not a configurable scsi controller of some
kind, is it?  Maybe it has external software to handle some setup
options.  I use a Mylex RAID card that has config software on board,
plus has some external software for extra features.
