Warren:
See if this helps...
Got to:
http://docs.us.dell.com/docs/software/ossbs03/en/index.htm
(You may first be taken to a "Welcome to Dell Support" page. If so, click
on "Small Business" in the left column)
This should bring you tothe "Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003,
Premium and Standard Editions" page. Now, download the two Installation
Instruction files.
The first is an overall installation doc and the second explains about the
Sharepoint Hotfix for SBS 2003. The first doc will take you through a clean
reinstall of SBS 2003 (with or without reconfiguring the RAID array) - this
is under the section "Using the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD to
Perform a Clean Installation of the Operating Sy...",
Before you do the reinstall, write down your current partition sizes and any
other info that the installation doc requires. I assume you have all the
other info (like your domain name, server name, FQDN, etc.).
