During reinstallation I'm told that setup can't find the hard drive/mass storage device - whY?

Running SBS 2003 Premium.
==================
For necessary reasons, I need to reinstall SBS. My problem is right from
the get-go after setup gets down loading files and drivers to start, it
tells me it can't detect a hard-drive/mass storage device. That puzzled me
as it shows up fine during boot-up. After cycling through a reboot a few
times, it hit me that I have a SCSI RAID device. So I dug out the 3.25 in
floppy (ADAPTEC Family Manager Set v4.0a Utility Disk) and plopped it in the
drive and went to the setup. I selected the SCSI drive from the list
presented, and then setup told me that the file already in windows was newer
than what was on the diskette, and asked me whether to replace or keep the
file. I chose to keep the newest file. It then went to the next window to
tell me it still couldn't find the hard-drive/mass storage device.
Very frustrating!
Can someone please tell me how to convince setup that there IS a
hard-drive/mass storage device?
