Poweredge 1900 RAID 5 Issue

Hello all,

I have what I believe is a self inflicted issue.
I have a powerdege 1900 that was booting fine (SBS 2003). This is a server that is no longer in use except to occasionally boot up access to one old application (dental office). I wanted to create a VHD out of the server and turn it into a HyperV server so we can dispose of the physical server. I use Storage Craft which has the ability to image the machine into VHD. However, to accomplish this I attempted to connect a 500 GB SATA drive to the MB so that I would have a place to store the image. The only change I made to the PC was to go into the BIOS and set all four SATA options from Off to Auto in hopes that it would see the drive as just a connected SATA. However when I booted the PC after this I got a message that Utility partition is not available. I then noticed during boot that I was getting the message that Logical drive failed. I entered the RAID utility (ctrl-r) and it was reporting 2 of the physical drives have failed. I understand the implications of this. However, years ago we were running low on hard drive space and I purchased a 4th drive from Dell and installed it in the server but never got around to joining it to the RAID so it has just been in the servers HD tray with the other three drives. Now I have to assume a little bit here so bear with me. In the drive tray that holds the physical drives, there are drives in trays 0,1,2, and 3. I would have to assume that when Dell build the server, the original drives were in 0,1, and 2 and that the drive I added later was stuck into tray 3. It appeared that the drive in tray 3 was listed as part of the RAID which I found odd. As a test, I unplugged that drive and booted and went into the RAID utility and sure enough it showed one of the drives of the RAID now missing. I shut the server down, re-connected the drive and booted again and now i am getting 2 of the drives missing (I have verified that all SATA connections are secure. I was also very careful to make sure all SATA cables stayed connected to their associated drives

At this point I have shut the server down and will await. hopefully, so knowledgeable guidance in hopes of saving the data (this server has been out of use for a few years and there may not be a backup of it anymore.

One more note, when I boot it now I get a message Foreign Configuration found on adapter. I did not press any keys at this point and just let it continue to boot.

Any help is greatly appreciated . Also, I do understand that there is the chance that two of the dirves failed but it sure feels like my changes in the BIOS were the cause.....BTW, this is a perc 5i controller.
