I have a R730 with 8 HD's.  I'm not well versed on Servers so please be patient with me.  

I am trying to build my ESXi server but it only presents me my 300 Gg Hard drive only.  I have 7 more 600 GIG HD.

I did go into the bios utilities and was able to set 7 HD's as RAID 0.  I even removed my 300 Gig HD from Raid configuration.  

 

One thing i noticed was during boot up in the bios, it says the following:

 

0 virtual drives on host adapter

0 virtual drives in bios

 

I am sure i am either doing something wrong on am suppose to do something to get this to work.  Please help!
