Thanks everyone for the replies.
Henry I have some questions for you about your backup/restore
process.
Did you do full/Normal backup?
Did you install the whole SBS? What were your steps? Like when you
were done installing did you continue with other SBS CDs
installations? (I presume its necessary but would like to be sure this
time, since this is my homework now)
I've spent at least a couple days for these tryouts and thats why this
is going to be my homework, I'll be installing and doing restore at
home until i find a solution.
I want to do RAID1 setup too actually.
I appreciate your time and help.
Thanks a lot.

I had a run in with one of those same nasty little Dells doing very similar.
Upgrading the disks ( RAID1 ) to larger disks.
I used various Imaging software to grab images onto an external HDD but had
no end of issues with the software either not seeing the drives at all or
supposedly successfully re-imaging - and at the same time re-sizing the
partitions - only to be non bootable.
( Paragon wouldn't see the drives, Ghost and Acronis re-imaged drives
wouldn't boot .... and yes I did check the Boot.ini )
My guess was that it had to do with that nasty little hidden Dell Partition.
Finally got around it by doing a full SBS Backup to the External Drive, then
replacing the drives, Installing the Win Server onto the newly partitioned
drives and then doing a full restore from backup. This also gave me the
opportunity to create a better partition structure that I could move the
data files to later as well.
The cloning S/W I'd used had worked well in other scenarios, just not with
that SC430.
Burnt a lot of time, but thankfully had the original disks I could
re-install as the fallback point.
Hope yours goes easier, but just a heads up from the trench.
