You need drivers and/or you need to configure RAID before installing.
Which system is this (there is no SC 145)? 1435? 1435? 440?
Which storage controller is installed?

That is just a generic descriptor and can refer to either the SAS 5/iR or the PERC 5/i controllers. I might assume you have the PERC 5/i, because the drivers for it are built into 2008 R2, but the likely reason you are not seeing any drives to install to is because it doesn't support non-RAID - you must first configure (and Initialize) RAID in CTRL-R before Windows can see any drives to install to.

What do you mean it "didn't work"?
If there is a CTRL-C prompt, you have a SAS 5/iR. If there is a CTRL-R prompt, you have a PERC 5/i. You could check the original order details, and/or you could open the box and send me a picture of the card that is installed.
