Question : Dell sever w/ Perc 6/i RAID, Windows server 2008 and 0x80004005 error

ok, this new Dell server has a PErc 6/i RAID controller on it.  It uses virtual disks.  I have created my virtual disk and began my Server 2008 install.  I have partitions and everything but when I try to install the OS, I get an error:

Windows could not create a pertition on Disk0.  The error occured while preparing the computers system volume.  Error Code: 0x80004005.

Ideas?

Thanks

Cliff

In the BIOS configuration utility for the PERC.  RAID array = Virtual Disk on the PERC.  Go to CTRL-R and setup the array again, Initializing it this time, and giving it a 10-minute head start on installing Windows.  Do not "partition" your array in the PERC BIOS - use Windows to create your partitions.  Once you boot to the install disk, then you can partition it however you want.
